Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account at TrafficSchool.net and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you start. The whole setup takes a few minutes, and your 30-day completion window begins the moment you enroll.

Work Through the Course

Complete text and image-based lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson. Pass each quiz to advance. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

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 two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly. The course meets the state-mandated 8 hours minimum required by ODPS.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes on your record until the certificate lands at the BMV or the clerk's office. 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. The state also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it, and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

Questions Cedarville Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take this course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for the 2-point credit?

Ohio recognizes five reasons to take the Adult Remedial Driving Course under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. The 2-point credit applies to licensed drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a cushion before the next ticket. A 12-point suspension requires the course before reinstatement. A court order means a judge mandated it - no point credit applies in that case. Juvenile suspensions for drivers now 19 or older and under-21 OVI-related suspensions round out the five. Your BMV letter or court paperwork will tell you exactly which category applies. Cedarville residents can confirm their status by contacting the Greene County Clerk of Courts or the Xenia BMV office on East Market Street.

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 the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, creating a cushion under the 12-point suspension threshold set by Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. A driver sitting at 10 points drops to 8 after the credit posts, which means one more standard ticket does not immediately trigger a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, can only be used once every three years, and has a lifetime cap of five uses per driver. After passing the course, you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Xenia BMV office on East Market Street to apply the credit to your record.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning - your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers on a court-ordered timeline or trying to reinstate a suspended license, that delay also means your license stays suspended longer. The practical move is to log in consistently across the first two weeks rather than leaving it all for the final days. Cedarville drivers with a court deadline should cross-check the 30-day window against whatever date the Greene County Clerk of Courts has on file for their case.

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

The certificate - BMV Form 5789 - generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit or suspension reinstatement, submit it to the Ohio BMV. Cedarville residents use the Xenia BMV office on East Market Street, roughly 15 miles south on Route 42, or mail it to the Ohio BMV central office per current ODPS guidelines. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the Greene County Clerk of Courts in Xenia. Keep a digital copy for your own records. The Cedarville Deputy Registrar location handles registration and title work but does not process remedial course certificates.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day - so if you fail on a Tuesday, your second try cannot happen until Wednesday at the earliest. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely; you start over from lesson one and your 30-day window continues to count down from the original enrollment date. That reset scenario is the one worth avoiding. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use them to actually lock in the material before you sit for the final. Cedarville drivers who reset close to the 30-day deadline should contact TrafficSchool.net immediately to understand their options.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course provides - for eligible drivers taking it for the 2-point credit reason - is a two-point reduction applied as a credit against your current total. The underlying violations and their original point values remain on your record. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the requirement to restore driving privileges or close the court obligation, but it does not alter the point history. Cedarville drivers who want points formally removed need to petition the appropriate Ohio court, not complete a driving course.
