Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account at TrafficSchool.net and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before any coursework counts.

Work through text and image-based interactive lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick up exactly where you left off without losing anything.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish the full 8 hours of instruction and pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF, ready to submit to the Montgomery County BMV or your court the same day.

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 is complete and the certificate hits the BMV. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the clock matters too: one more ticket before you finish can push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you restart from zero.

Questions Fort McKinley Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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 qualify under current Ohio BMV requirements. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket causes a problem. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a mandatory suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and must complete the course to reinstate. Courts can also order it directly, in which case no point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older reinstating a juvenile suspension and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol offense round out the list. If a Montgomery County court sent you here, bring the completion certificate to the Clerk of Courts, not just the BMV.

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

The 2-point credit creates a cushion on your record. It does not erase existing points or remove violations. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a driving record. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, which matters when you are sitting at 8 or 9 points and one more ticket would push you past the 12-point suspension threshold under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years, you can only apply it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. Fort McKinley drivers who want to apply the credit submit BMV Form 5789 to the Montgomery County BMV office on North Main Street in Dayton after passing the course.

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

The state requires a full restart. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window is a hard rule. Miss it and your enrollment closes, you pay a reinstatement fee, and you begin the course from the first lesson again. None of your previous progress carries over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, that also means your license stays suspended longer. The practical move is to log in within the first few days of enrolling and knock out a couple of lessons rather than waiting until day 25. The course saves your progress after every section, so there is no reason to try to finish it all at once.

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

The certificate downloads as a PDF the moment you pass the final exam. BMV Form 5789 is the official document the Ohio BMV and Ohio courts accept. Fort McKinley residents submitting for a 2-point credit or a 12-point suspension reinstatement take it to the Montgomery County BMV Deputy Registrar or mail it to the Ohio BMV per current ODPS guidelines. The nearest full-service BMV branch serving Fort McKinley is on North Main Street in Dayton, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from the Fort McKinley area depending on traffic on Gettysburg Avenue. Court-ordered completions go to the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts at 301 West Third Street in downtown Dayton.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, one per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you come back the next day for the second try. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. That means starting over from lesson one, which also restarts your 30-day window. The final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions provided directly by the state, and you need a 75% to pass. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material rather than clicking through. Drivers who pay attention to the driver attitude section and the alcohol and drug content tend to find the final exam manageable.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Department of Public Safety mandates that at least 25 percent of the course covers driver attitude and at least 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The rest covers Ohio traffic law, hazard recognition, and related content. The course runs through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward the 8-hour minimum, so plan accordingly. There is no daily study cap, meaning you can work through as many hours as you want in a single day as long as you take the required breaks. The full 8 hours must be logged before the final exam unlocks.
