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. Highland Heights residents use their Ohio driver license issued through Cuyahoga County. The process takes a few minutes and locks in your 30-day completion window from that point forward.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic safety through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total 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 PDF. The course requires 8 hours minimum of instruction time as mandated by Ohio state law.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes until you complete this course and submit the certificate. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can push you past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also requires you finish within 30 days of enrollment or you pay a reinstatement fee and start completely over. Get enrolled now and protect your driving privileges.

Questions Highland Heights Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers are eligible under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring 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. Court-ordered completions do not earn a point credit. Highland Heights residents should confirm their specific reason before enrolling at TrafficSchool.net.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your Ohio record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion between where you stand now and the 12-point suspension threshold established under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio allows a maximum of five lifetime uses. So if you are sitting at 9 points and you earn the credit, your effective total drops to 7. One more ticket will not immediately trigger a suspension. Highland Heights drivers can submit the certificate to the BMV Deputy Registrar on Wilson Mills Road to apply the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a firm 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline 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 already dealing with a suspension, that means your license stays suspended longer. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more time exposed to the risk of another ticket pushing you over 12 points. The practical move is to enroll when you are ready to actually work through the material within the month. Highland Heights drivers can track their deadline from the enrollment confirmation email they receive from TrafficSchool.net.

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

Pass the final exam and you get your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as an instant digital PDF. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, you submit that certificate to the Ohio BMV. Highland Heights residents can take it to the Highland Heights Deputy Registrar on Wilson Mills Road or to the Cuyahoga County BMV office in Mayfield Heights, roughly 3 miles from Highland Heights. For a court-ordered case, you submit it directly to the court that issued the order, which for most Highland Heights residents means the Cuyahoga County court handling your case. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the only document the BMV requires to process the point credit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 allows two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you wait until the next calendar day to try again. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from the beginning, which also restarts your 30-day completion window. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so use those to make sure you actually know the material before you hit the final. Highland Heights drivers who take the lesson quizzes seriously rarely need the second exam attempt. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net and work through each section before moving forward.

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. What the course provides, for eligible drivers with 2 to 11 points, is a 2-point credit applied to your current total. That credit lowers your effective point count and creates a buffer before you hit the 12-point suspension threshold. The underlying violations and their original point values remain on your record. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the requirement and allows your license to be reinstated, but it does not wipe the record clean. Highland Heights drivers with questions about their specific record should contact the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts or the Ohio BMV directly.
