Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account, confirm you hold a valid Ohio license, and upload a government-issued photo ID. Identity verification is required by the state before any coursework counts. Geauga County residents use the same enrollment process regardless of whether a court or the BMV sent them here.

Work Through the Course

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours. Log out and return anytime within your 30-day window.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and get 8 hours of credit. Pass and you receive BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF. Take it to the Burton Deputy Registrar on Burton-Windsor Road or submit it directly to the Geauga County Clerk of Courts.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Geauga County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get this behind you.

Questions Burton Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course?

Five groups of licensed Ohio adults qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record who want to bank a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them into suspension territory. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers a court has ordered to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. Confirm your specific reason with the Geauga County Clerk of Courts or the Burton Deputy Registrar before enrolling.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not erase existing points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation. If you currently sit at 8 points and earn the credit, the BMV treats your standing as 6 points going forward. That gap matters when one more ticket could push you to 12 and trigger a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, usable once every three years, and available a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Burton Deputy Registrar to apply the credit to your record.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers with a suspended license, that means more time off the road. For drivers chasing a 2-point credit before a ticket tips them over 12 points, it means the cushion they needed is gone and they are exposed again. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the moment you first log in to study. Set a realistic schedule from day one and treat the deadline as firm.

How fast do I get my certificate, and where do I send it?

Pass the final exam and you get BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue. For a 2-point credit, take the certificate to the Burton Deputy Registrar on Burton-Windsor Road or mail it to the Ohio BMV. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Geauga County Clerk of Courts, located in Chardon roughly 10 miles west of Burton on Route 322. Current Ohio BMV requirements do not allow the provider to submit the certificate on your behalf for point-credit cases. You hold the document and you deliver it. Do not sit on it. The sooner it lands at the right office, the sooner your record reflects the completion.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Fail it and you get one more attempt, but Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to one attempt per calendar day. That means your second try cannot happen until the following day. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the clock on your 30-day window keeps running regardless. Given that reset risk, treat the exam seriously. The course covers driver attitude and alcohol and drug content in depth precisely because those are the areas the exam tests hardest. Use the lesson quizzes to gauge where you stand before you hit the final. The Geauga County Clerk of Courts will not extend your deadline because of a failed exam.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Burton residents, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions that meet Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course standards do exist in Ohio, but none operate in Burton itself. Geauga County residents would need to drive toward Chardon or further toward Lake or Cuyahoga County to find a scheduled session, then block out a full day. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both delivery formats must meet the same 8-hour minimum and curriculum requirements, so the certificate you receive carries identical weight. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, issues the same BMV Form 5789. For most Burton drivers managing a job and a suspended license at the same time, spending a full day driving to a classroom is a harder ask than logging in from home on your own schedule.
