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 the course begins. Edgewood residents typically use their Ohio driver license issued through the Preble County Deputy Registrar. The process takes only a few minutes and locks in your 30-day completion window.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug effects on driving, and traffic safety 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 required hours. Progress saves automatically after each section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789 - your Certificate of Completion. Submit it to the Preble County Clerk of Courts or the BMV to close out your requirement. The course runs 8 hours minimum as mandated by Ohio.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Edgewood drivers 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 it receives your certificate. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension that costs far more time and money than this course. Ohio also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish - missing that window means starting over.

Edgewood Drivers Ask These Questions First

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers 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. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program - in that case no 2-point credit applies, the court just needs proof of completion. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension. Edgewood residents in any of these situations can enroll through TrafficSchool.net today and start the same day.

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, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you to 12 and triggers a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. So if you are sitting at 8 points right now and a ticket adds 4 more, that credit could be the difference between keeping your license and losing it. Edgewood drivers should submit BMV Form 5789 to the nearest BMV office in Eaton after passing.

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 the reinstatement fee again and restart the course from the beginning - your prior progress does not carry over. For Edgewood drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more weeks without driving privileges while you restart. The practical move is to log in consistently across the first two weeks rather than leaving it all for the final days. Progress saves automatically after each section, so you can work in shorter sessions across multiple days without losing your place. Start early and protect the 30-day window.

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

The certificate generates instantly as a downloadable PDF the moment you pass the final exam. That document is BMV Form 5789, the official Certificate of Completion recognized under current Ohio BMV requirements. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV - the nearest full-service BMV office to Edgewood is in Eaton on North Barron Street, roughly 10 miles from Edgewood. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Preble County Clerk of Courts in Eaton. Do not wait. The suspension stays active or the court requirement stays open until the BMV or court receives and processes that certificate. Same-day submission is entirely possible once you pass.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, 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. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely - you start over from lesson one and the 30-day window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit the final. Drivers who work through the driver attitude section and the alcohol and drug material carefully tend to do fine. Edgewood residents should treat the lesson quizzes as real preparation, not just checkboxes.

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 does for eligible drivers - those with 2 to 11 existing points - is apply a 2-point credit that reduces the current point total by two. That credit acts as a buffer, not an erasure. The underlying violations and their associated points remain on the record. For court-ordered completions, the course satisfies the court's requirement but does not trigger any point reduction at all. Edgewood drivers who want points formally removed need to petition the Preble County Court of Common Pleas separately from completing this course.
