Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account on TrafficSchool.net and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. That verification step confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, which is required under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 before any instruction begins.

Work Through the Course

Complete text and image-based lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson. State rules require a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required hours.

Pass the 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. Pass it and you get the BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The total course runs 8 hours minimum, as mandated by ODPS for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Jefferson County drivers under a 12-point suspension or a court order, the clock is already running. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the cushion only works if you complete the course before the next ticket pushes your total past 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037.

Questions Jefferson County 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 Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and must complete the course to reinstate. Courts can also order the course directly, and in that case no point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older dealing with a juvenile suspension from before age 18 qualify, as do drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI suspension. Jefferson County residents can confirm their point total through the Steubenville BMV Deputy Registrar office before enrolling.

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 apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion so the next ticket does not push you into a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times across your lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Jefferson County Deputy Registrar in Steubenville or directly to the Ohio BMV to trigger the credit after you pass the course.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that deadline and your enrollment expires. You pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course over from the beginning. None of your completed lessons carry forward. For Jefferson County drivers under a 12-point suspension or a court order, an expired enrollment means your license stays suspended and your court requirement stays open the entire time. The 30-day clock does not pause for work schedules, illness, or anything else. Log your enrollment date the day you sign up and treat the deadline as firm. Starting early in the month gives you the most buffer.

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

You get the digital BMV Form 5789 PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no processing delay. Download it immediately and keep a copy. Jefferson County drivers submitting for a 2-point credit or a 12-point suspension reinstatement send the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest Deputy Registrar serving Jefferson County is located in Steubenville, roughly in the center of the county. Drivers under a court order submit the certificate to the Jefferson County Clerk of Courts at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Steubenville. Confirm the exact submission address with the court before you go, since some orders specify a particular division. Current Ohio BMV requirements accept the digital PDF.

What happens if I fail the final exam on the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass. Fail the first attempt and you get a second attempt, but not until the following calendar day. That one-per-calendar-day rule is set by ODPS, not by the course provider. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes and must be passed before you advance, so use them to actually learn the material. Jefferson County drivers who are close to their 30-day deadline should not wait until the last few days to attempt the final exam.

Does completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course remove points from my record?

No. Completing the course does not remove points or wipe violations from your Ohio driving record. That distinction matters. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit to the current point total, which lowers the number the BMV counts toward a 12-point suspension. Existing tickets and their associated points stay on the record. The credit simply creates a buffer. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement, the purpose is satisfying the legal requirement, not adjusting the point count. Jefferson County drivers can verify their updated point total at the Steubenville Deputy Registrar after the BMV processes the certificate.
