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 sections, traffic law, and crash prevention. A quiz follows each lesson. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up 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 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads immediately as a PDF.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is not abstract. The license stays suspended until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate hits the BMV. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish could push the record past 12 and trigger that suspension. Ohio also gives you a hard 30-day completion window from enrollment. After that, the state requires a reinstatement fee and a full restart.

Frequently Asked Questions from Mount Sterling Drivers

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 Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them over 12. Drivers who already hit 12 points and got suspended must complete it 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 Madison County court ordered your course, bring the completion certificate to the Clerk of Courts on Jefferson Street in London, about 14 miles from Mount Sterling.

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

The 2-point credit creates a cushion on your Ohio driving record. It does not erase existing points or remove any violation from your history. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a record. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, which can be the difference between staying under 12 and triggering a suspension when the next ticket lands. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. After passing the course, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV, which Mount Sterling residents can reach through the Madison County Deputy Registrar on London Avenue.

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

Ohio requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers whose license is currently suspended, that delay extends the suspension. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it leaves the record exposed longer. The practical move is to start the first section the same day you enroll and treat the 30-day mark as a hard deadline. Madison County drivers can confirm current reinstatement requirements with the Deputy Registrar on London Avenue in Mount Sterling before restarting.

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

The certificate generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. BMV Form 5789 is the official document the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Ohio courts accept. For a 2-point credit or suspension reinstatement, submit it to the Ohio BMV. Mount Sterling residents can use the Deputy Registrar office on London Avenue rather than driving to the full BMV branch. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate to the Madison County Clerk of Courts on Jefferson Street in London, roughly 14 miles from Mount Sterling. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the digital PDF is fully accepted.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, but only one attempt 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 lesson one, the 30-day window resets, and you retake the full exam sequence. That is not a situation you want to land in with a suspension already running. Read through each lesson carefully, take the lesson quizzes seriously since they cover the same material the final draws from, and give yourself at least one full review day before attempting the exam. Madison County drivers should factor reset time into their 30-day window.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which lowers the active point total by two and creates a buffer before the next ticket could push the record to 12 and trigger a suspension. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes the certificate. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement, the certificate satisfies the requirement but does not alter the underlying record. Submit BMV Form 5789 promptly after passing to start that three-year credit window.
