Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID to confirm you are the person completing the course, and pay the enrollment fee. The 30-day completion clock starts the moment you enroll, so do not sign up until you are ready to work through the material.

Complete the 8-Hour Curriculum

Work through text and image-based interactive lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Take a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction. Break time does not count toward your 8 hours, and there is no cap on how many hours you study in a single day.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

Score 75% or higher on the 40-question state-provided final exam. You get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a digital PDF. The total course time is 8 hours minimum, as required by the Ohio Department of Public Safety.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Stark County court. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over.

Questions North Canton Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, licensed Ohio drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them into suspension territory. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year window. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older completing the course tied to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered students do not receive a 2-point credit. Your next step is confirming which category applies, then enrolling at TrafficSchool.net.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract two points from your current total, creating a cushion between where you sit now and the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. A driver sitting at 10 points drops to 8 after the credit posts. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio limits it to five times in a lifetime per current ODPS guidelines. Submit your BMV Form 5789 certificate to the North Canton Deputy Registrar or directly to the Ohio BMV to apply the credit.

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

The Ohio Department of Public Safety requires full completion of the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. None of your completed lessons carry over. For drivers in a suspension situation, that also means more time without a valid license while you wait to finish the restart. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the first time you log in to study. Set a calendar reminder for day 25 so you have time to finish the final exam before the window closes.

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

Your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV or drop it off at the North Canton Deputy Registrar on Applegrove Street NW, which serves Stark County residents. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Stark County Clerk of Courts, located in downtown Canton roughly 6 miles from North Canton. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the official document the BMV and courts require. Keep a digital copy saved after you download it in case you need to resubmit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need to hit the passing score of 75% to receive your certificate. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, you get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first try on a Monday and you cannot attempt again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start back at lesson one, the 30-day window resets, and you work through all the material again before another exam attempt. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 governs these exam rules. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final.

Does finishing 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 does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your current point total by two. That credit creates a buffer between your current total and the 12-point suspension threshold. The violations and original point assessments remain on your record. 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 your BMV Form 5789 to the North Canton Deputy Registrar to get the credit posted.
