No, Oklahoma doesn’t have a specific law banning cursing while driving— that’s a mix-up with older, general profanity statutes that apply anywhere, not just behind the wheel. The state’s Title 21, §905 only imposes a minor $1 fine for profane swearing in public, with no jail risk or driving tie-in. Similar rules exist elsewhere, like Maryland’s Rockville ban on audible swearing from vehicles.
Actual Oklahoma Profanity Rule
Oklahoma’s profane swearing law dates to 1910 and targets public outbursts broadly, punishable by a nominal $1 fine per offense.​
It doesn’t mention vehicles, roads, or jail time, making it rarely enforced today.​
No “Oklahomas” (likely meaning cities) single out driving curses uniquely.​
Similar Driving Speech Bans
Rockville, Maryland, prohibits swearing from a car if audible to pedestrians, with up to $100 fines or 90 days jail as a misdemeanor.
West Virginia has a parallel $1 public swearing fine, again not vehicle-specific.​
These stem from outdated public nuisance codes, not modern road rage laws.​
