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 begin. The process takes a few minutes and locks your enrollment to you specifically, which matters when the BMV or a Lawrence County court checks your certificate.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required hours.

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 have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours per Ohio state mandate.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is already running. The BMV does not lift the suspension until the certificate lands in their system. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push you straight into suspension territory. Ohio 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 Coal Grove 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 to their record before the next ticket causes a suspension. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year window. Third, drivers 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 reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Each situation uses the same course. Check your suspension notice or court order to confirm which category applies to you, then enroll at TrafficSchool.net.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract two points from your current total, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. A driver sitting at 10 points drops to 8. That matters when the next ticket lands. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times total. After completing the course through TrafficSchool.net, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV to apply the credit to your Lawrence County driving 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 already dealing with a suspended license, that delay extends the time your license stays inactive. The 30-day window is not a suggestion. Coal Grove drivers who work irregular hours or deal with spotty internet in Lawrence County should log in early and build in buffer time. TrafficSchool.net sends reminder emails as the deadline approaches, but the responsibility to finish on time is yours.

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. There is no waiting period and nothing gets mailed to you. Download it immediately and keep a copy. Where you submit it depends on your situation. Drivers completing the course for a 2-point credit or to reinstate after a 12-point suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The closest full-service BMV to Coal Grove is in Ironton on South Third Street, roughly 10 minutes from Coal Grove on US-52. Drivers completing the course under a court order submit the certificate directly to the Lawrence County Clerk of Courts at the courthouse in Ironton. Confirm the submission address with your specific court order before you send anything.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, you get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, the clock on your 30-day window does not reset automatically, and you need to re-complete all lessons and quizzes before reaching the final exam again. That scenario is avoidable. The lesson quizzes throughout the course cover the same material the final exam tests, so treat every quiz seriously rather than clicking through them.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course provides, for 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 stay on your record. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement, the course satisfies the requirement and allows the BMV to lift the suspension, but it does not clean the record. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing, and confirm the credit posted by checking your record at the Lawrence County Deputy Registrar in Coal Grove.
