OAR is an acronym for "Operating After Revocation," and it refers to the operation of a vehicle after a person's driver's license has already been revoked for another offense such as drunk driving. OAS is an acronym for "Operating After Suspension" or operating while suspended.

Sentencing Guidelines For Operating After Revocation
or Operating While Suspended

Under Wisconsin statutes (Wis. Stat. 346.65(2m)), every judicial district in Wisconsin is required to adopt sentencing guidelines for judges to follow when sentencing a defendant convicted by the state of Wisconsin for drunk driving. [Sentencing Guidelines]

Wisconsin statutes (Wis. Stat. 343.44(1)(b) and Wis. Stat 343.44(2)(as)) provide statewide sentencing guidelines for sentencing defendants convicted in the state of Wisconsin for operating a vehicle after revocation or suspension. A copy of the July 27, 2005 guidelines is available at Wisconsin Sentencing Guidelines.
