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 start coursework. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, not someone doing it on your behalf. Get this done in one sitting so the clock starts on your 30-day window right away.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Progress through text and image-based interactive lessons at whatever hours work for your schedule. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically on the server after every section, so logging out between sessions does not cost you anything. Ohio requires 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 you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law. Submit the certificate to the Hamilton County BMV or your court the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the suspension does not lift until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate hits the BMV. Court-ordered cases stay open the same way. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish could push your record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to complete the course before requiring a full restart.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course for Golf Manor Drivers

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record as a cushion. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. The court-ordered group does not receive the 2-point credit. Golf Manor residents in any of these situations can enroll through TrafficSchool.net today.

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 apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date it is applied. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. It does not apply to court-ordered completions. For a Golf Manor driver sitting at 9 or 10 points, banking this credit before the next traffic stop is the practical move. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Hamilton County BMV to activate it.

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

Ohio law requires you to complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of your enrollment date. This requirement comes from Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 and applies regardless of which of the five recognized reasons you enrolled for. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers with an active suspension, that also means more time off the road. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the moment you begin your first lesson. Golf Manor drivers should log in and start the first section the same day they register to protect that window.

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

Pass the final exam and you get your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF immediately. There is no waiting period and no processing delay. The certificate generates the moment the passing score is recorded. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. Golf Manor residents can take it to the Golf Manor Deputy Registrar at 6105 Belmont Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45224, or to the Hamilton County BMV branch on Gest Street, roughly 8 miles from Golf Manor. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the court that issued the order. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes point credit applications upon receipt of the valid Form 5789.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. This is not a situation you want to land in, especially with an active suspension or a court deadline approaching. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use them. Treat every quiz as practice for the final. Golf Manor drivers who work through the material section by section pass the first time far more often.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points from a driving record. What the course does, for drivers taking it for the 2-point credit reason, is apply a 2-point credit to your current total. That credit reduces the number showing on your record and creates a buffer before the next ticket could trigger a suspension. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement, the certificate satisfies the requirement and allows reinstatement to proceed, but the underlying violations remain on the record. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Hamilton County BMV to get the credit applied.
