Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you start. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, not someone doing it on your behalf. Takes a few minutes to set up.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick up exactly where you left off.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish the 8 hours course, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Brecksville drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is running. The BMV does not lift the suspension until it receives your certificate. For court-ordered cases, the requirement stays open on your record until the court gets proof of completion. And if you enrolled and let 30 days pass, Ohio law requires you to restart and pay again. Finishing this week protects your driving privileges and closes the requirement.

Brecksville Drivers Ask These Questions Most

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers take this course. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record before the next ticket pushes them toward a suspension. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension. The key difference with a court order is that no 2-point credit applies. The court requires completion as a condition, and you submit BMV Form 5789 directly to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts or the ordering court. Brecksville residents can confirm their specific requirement with the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts located in downtown Cleveland.

Does completing the course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove existing points from your record. Only an Ohio court can order points removed. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your record. Think of it as a cushion. If you currently sit at 8 points and earn the 2-point credit, the BMV treats your effective total as 6 points for suspension threshold purposes. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. It does not erase the underlying violations or the points already recorded. Brecksville drivers who want to confirm their current point total can check through the Cuyahoga County Deputy Registrar or request a driving record from the Ohio BMV.

What happens if I do not finish the course within 30 days of enrolling?

Ohio requires you to complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, this means your license stays suspended even longer while you restart. For court-ordered cases, the requirement stays open and the court may treat the missed deadline as noncompliance. The practical move is to start the first lesson the same day you enroll and log in consistently across the first two weeks. Brecksville residents can submit the completed certificate to the Cuyahoga County BMV Deputy Registrar on Miller Road in Brecksville to avoid any additional delay.

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

The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF. You download it immediately. There is no waiting period and nothing mailed to you. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers taking the course for a 2-point credit submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense also submit to the BMV. Drivers with a court order submit to the court that issued the order, which for most Brecksville residents means the Cuyahoga County court system. The Brecksville Deputy Registrar location on Miller Road can assist with BMV submissions. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the BMV processes the credit after receiving the certificate.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you sit the final. Brecksville drivers who reset should contact TrafficSchool.net to confirm their new enrollment date so the 30-day window is clear before they begin again.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Brecksville residents, and why do most people take it online?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do still exist in Cuyahoga County, but availability is limited and sessions run on fixed schedules that may not align with your reinstatement timeline or work schedule. The nearest BMV full-service office serving Brecksville residents is approximately 10 to 15 minutes north on I-77 toward the Cuyahoga County BMV offices in the Cleveland area. Driving to a classroom, blocking out a full day, and waiting for a paper certificate adds time when your license is already suspended. The online course through TrafficSchool.net meets the same Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 curriculum requirements, issues the same BMV Form 5789 certificate, and lets Brecksville drivers finish on their own schedule without the commute.
