Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Work Through the Course

Complete text and image-based lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson. Progress saves automatically server-side, so you can log out after a section and pick up exactly where you left off without losing anything.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it, and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. Total seat time is 8 hours minimum, with mandatory 10-minute breaks built in after every two consecutive hours.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate lands at the BMV. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket without that cushion can push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state's 30-day completion window starts at enrollment. Get this handled now and get your driving privileges back on solid ground.

Questions Chagrin Falls Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied before the next ticket causes a suspension. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Third, anyone a court has ordered to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a point credit. The other four situations may qualify for the credit depending on your record. Check with the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts or the Solon BMV on Aurora Road if your situation is unclear.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation. If you have 8 points right now, the credit brings your effective total to 6 for suspension threshold purposes. Existing violations and the points attached to them stay on the record. The credit is valid for three years, can be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. For Chagrin Falls drivers watching a record climb, banking that credit before the next ticket matters. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Solon BMV office on Aurora Road to apply it.

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

The state requires a full restart. Under current Ohio BMV requirements tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window begins at enrollment. Miss it and you pay the reinstatement fee again and start the course from the beginning, including all lessons and the final exam. None of your previous progress carries over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, this also means the suspension stays active longer. For drivers banking a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them over 12 points, a missed window leaves the record unprotected. Chagrin Falls drivers who work irregular hours should plan sessions across multiple evenings rather than trying to cram everything into the final week.

How fast do I get the certificate after passing the final exam?

The certificate generates immediately. Pass the 40-question final and BMV Form 5789 arrives as a digital PDF before you close the browser tab. For drivers submitting to the Ohio BMV, the nearest office serving Chagrin Falls residents is the Solon BMV on Aurora Road, roughly 10 miles and about 20 minutes from downtown Chagrin Falls. For court-ordered cases, submit the certificate directly to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate must come from a state-approved provider, which TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is. Print it or email it to the court. Either way, you can have this handled the same day you pass.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, limited to one per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and the certificate generates immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely under current Ohio BMV requirements. That means starting over from lesson one, completing all 8 hours of seat time again, and passing all lesson quizzes before another final exam attempt is available. The 30-day window does not pause during this reset. For Chagrin Falls drivers already close to the deadline, a double failure and full restart can push the record past the window and trigger the reinstatement fee. Take the practice material seriously before attempting the final.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Chagrin Falls, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions exist in Ohio but none operate in Chagrin Falls itself. The nearest options require a drive, typically toward Solon, Beachwood, or further into Cuyahoga County, plus finding a session date that fits your schedule. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both formats satisfy the state requirement equally, so the certificate carries the same weight either way. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers the identical curriculum, including the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug material, without the commute. For most Chagrin Falls residents juggling work and family, finishing sections across several evenings beats blocking out a full day and driving to a classroom. The Solon BMV on Aurora Road accepts certificates from both formats.
