Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account at TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you begin. Oakwood residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio licensed adult driver aged 18 or older.

Work Through the Course

Log in and out as needed. 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. There is no cap on how many hours you study in a single day.

Pass the Exam 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. Pass, and you immediately download your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum under current Ohio BMV requirements.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Oakwood drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or a court order, your driving privileges stay on hold until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate lands at the BMV or the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a borderline record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment. Use them.

Oakwood Drivers Ask: Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course FAQ

Who 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 of Ohio drivers take this course under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. The key difference: a court-ordered completion satisfies the court requirement but does not generate a 2-point credit. Oakwood residents should confirm their specific reason with the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts or the Dayton BMV 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 violations from your 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 before the next ticket pushes you toward 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 in your lifetime. For an Oakwood driver sitting at 8 or 9 points, that cushion can be the difference between keeping your license and losing it after one more moving violation. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Dayton BMV on North Gettysburg Avenue 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 hard 30-day completion window from your enrollment date. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. None of your prior progress carries over. For Oakwood drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay means more days off the road and an added financial hit on top of the original reinstatement costs. The Dayton BMV on North Gettysburg Avenue does not grant extensions on this window. The practical move is to enroll only when you have a realistic stretch of days to work through the material, and then treat the 30-day clock seriously from day one.

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

Pass the final exam and you get BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF certificate. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, that certificate is the official document the BMV and courts accept. Oakwood drivers submitting for a 2-point credit take the certificate to the Dayton BMV, located on North Gettysburg Avenue roughly 10 minutes from central Oakwood. Drivers fulfilling a court order submit the certificate to the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts at 301 West Third Street in downtown Dayton. Confirm the exact submission method with the court or BMV before you go, since some cases allow mailed or uploaded copies and others require an in-person visit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. 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, and the 30-day completion window resets as well. Lesson quizzes between sections work differently: those allow unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, but they do not count as exam attempts. For Oakwood drivers on a tight reinstatement timeline, treat the final exam seriously. Review the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug material before you attempt it, since those two areas make up at least half the curriculum.

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

Completing the course does not remove points or wipe violations from your Ohio driving record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is generate a 2-point credit that the BMV applies to your current point total after you submit BMV Form 5789. Think of it as a buffer, not a clean slate. A driver with 9 points who earns the credit drops to 7 on paper, which creates room before the 12-point suspension threshold. Drivers completing the course under a court order or for a suspension reinstatement do not receive the 2-point credit at all. Their certificate satisfies the legal or administrative requirement. Oakwood drivers with questions about their specific point total can check their record at the Dayton BMV on North Gettysburg Avenue.
