Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account on TrafficSchool.net and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you begin. Bratenahl residents are licensed through Cuyahoga County, so your Ohio driver license works perfectly for this step. The system confirms your identity and you move straight into the course material.

Complete the Course Lessons

Work through state-mandated lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required hours. Progress saves automatically after every section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course runs 8 hours minimum per state mandate. Submit the certificate to the Cuyahoga County BMV office or your court the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling a Cuyahoga County court order, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate lands at the right office. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on East 185th or Lakeshore Boulevard can push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Start now and get this behind you.

Bratenahl Drivers Ask These Questions First

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and a 2-point credit?

Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 identifies five situations where the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension must complete it before the BMV restores their license. Drivers under a court order must complete it as a condition set by a judge, and no 2-point credit applies in that case. Drivers aged 19 or older with a juvenile suspension and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension also qualify. The fifth group is drivers with 2 to 11 points who voluntarily take the course to bank a 2-point credit as a cushion. Bratenahl residents should confirm which category applies before enrolling, then submit the certificate to the correct office, either the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts or the nearest BMV.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my Ohio driving record?

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What it does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. So if you are sitting at 8 points and a ticket on Euclid Avenue adds 2 more, having banked the credit keeps you at 8 instead of 10. Bratenahl drivers who complete the course get BMV Form 5789 and submit it directly to the nearest Cuyahoga County BMV office to apply the credit.

What happens if I do not finish the course within the 30-day window?

Per current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the state mandates completion of the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that window and the enrollment expires. You then owe a reinstatement fee to the course provider and must restart the entire course from the beginning. None of your previously completed lessons or quiz scores carry over. For Bratenahl drivers with a suspended license, that delay means more days without driving privileges. For drivers working toward a 2-point credit, it means more exposure to a ticket pushing the record past 12 points. The practical move is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and keep steady progress through the 30-day period.

How fast do I get the certificate after passing the final exam, and where do I send it?

Pass the final exam and you get BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF, available to download immediately. There is no processing delay and nothing ships in the mail. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers earning a 2-point credit or reinstating after a 12-point suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office serving Bratenahl residents is the Cuyahoga County BMV on Rockside Road in Independence, roughly 15 miles south of Bratenahl. Drivers fulfilling a court order submit the certificate to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts at the Justice Center on Ontario Street in Cleveland, about 10 minutes from Bratenahl. Confirm the submission method with your attorney or the court clerk if you have any doubt.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The final exam for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is 40 multiple-choice questions provided by the state, and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to two attempts, and you can only take one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to lock in the material before you sit for the final. Bratenahl drivers who treat the quizzes seriously rarely need the second exam attempt.

Does completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course remove points from my driving record?

No. Completing the course does not remove points or erase violations from your Ohio driving record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points from a record. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two and creates a buffer before you reach the 12-point suspension threshold. That credit stays active for three years. Drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement do not receive the 2-point credit at all. The certificate, BMV Form 5789, documents completion and satisfies the BMV or court requirement. Bratenahl drivers who want points actually removed need to petition the Cuyahoga County court that handled the underlying violation.
