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. That verification step confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, which is a current Ohio BMV requirement before any certificate can be issued.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up later without losing ground.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish in the state-mandated 8 hours minimum, pass the exam, and BMV Form 5789 downloads instantly as a PDF.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Kingston drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling 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 the beginning. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record sitting at 9 or 10 points can push you into suspension territory fast. Getting this handled now protects your ability to drive US-35 and Route 22 every day.

Questions Kingston 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 taking it for a 2-point credit?

Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies to five groups: drivers with 2 to 11 points seeking a 2-point credit, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers under a court order, drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC suspension. The key difference is that a court-ordered completion carries no 2-point credit. You finish the course because a judge required it, and the certificate goes to the court, not the BMV for a credit. For the 2-point credit cases, you submit BMV Form 5789 directly to the Ohio BMV. Ross County residents can submit in person at the Chillicothe BMV, roughly 12 miles from Kingston.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my driving record, and how often can I use it?

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What it does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. If you are sitting at 8 points and get the credit, your total drops to 6. One more ticket does not immediately put you in suspension range. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Chillicothe BMV office after completing the course to apply the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a 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 Kingston drivers who are already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road and more money out of pocket. The practical move is to treat the 30-day window as a hard deadline from day one. Log in consistently, complete sections across multiple sessions if needed, and do not let the account sit idle for two weeks. The course saves your progress automatically, so there is no reason to lose ground between sessions.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Ross County residents can take it to the Chillicothe BMV office on North Bridge Street, about 12 miles from Kingston, or submit it through the BMV's online services portal per current Ohio BMV requirements. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order. If your case went through the Ross County Court of Common Pleas or a local municipal court, contact the clerk's office to confirm their preferred submission method before you drop it off.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 and current ODPS guidelines, you get two attempts total, and only one attempt is allowed per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from the beginning, which also restarts your 30-day completion window. 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. Going into the exam having reviewed the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug content puts you in a much better position than rushing through the lessons just to get to the test.

Does completing the 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 from a driving record. What the course provides, for eligible drivers taking it voluntarily, is a 2-point credit applied to your current point total. That credit lowers the number the BMV sees when calculating whether you are approaching the 12-point suspension threshold. The violations and the original points from each ticket remain on your record. If you are in a situation where you need actual point removal, that requires a court petition, not a driving course. For questions about your specific record, the Ross County Clerk of Courts office in Chillicothe can direct you to the right process.
