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. Ohio requires identity verification before the course begins, so have your Ohio driver license ready. Portage County residents enroll the same way as anyone else in the state. The process takes only a few minutes to complete.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. Your progress saves automatically on the server after each section, so closing the browser loses nothing.

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 get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a digital PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the Portage County court or the BMV, depending on your situation.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes on your record until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Portage County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you a 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions from Streetsboro Drivers

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers are eligible under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for reaching 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Portage County residents in any of these situations can enroll at TrafficSchool.net today.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not erase points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can order point removal. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit to your record, which works as a cushion against future tickets. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, that credit is valid for three years, can only be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. So if you are sitting at 8 points and earn the credit, your effective total drops to 6 for purposes of the suspension threshold. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Portage County Deputy Registrar on State Route 14 to apply the credit.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the course resets entirely. You pay the reinstatement fee and start over from lesson one. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers on a court order or reinstating a suspended license, that delay also means your license stays suspended longer and your court requirement stays open. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the moment you first log in to study. Streetsboro drivers with a suspension or court deadline should enroll and start the first session the same day to protect as much of that window as possible.

How fast do I get the certificate after passing, 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. Streetsboro residents can take it to the Portage County Deputy Registrar located on State Route 14 in Streetsboro, or to the nearest full-service BMV branch. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Portage County Clerk of Courts, located at the Portage County Courthouse in Ravenna, roughly 10 miles from Streetsboro. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate must be submitted promptly after completion to apply the credit or satisfy the court requirement.

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 entire course resets. You start over from lesson one and the 30-day window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so treat those as your preparation for the final. Streetsboro drivers who work through the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug material carefully tend to be better prepared when they reach the 40-question exam.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs a minimum of 8 hours of instruction under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Per ODPS requirements, at least 25 percent of the course covers driver attitude, including how attitude affects decision-making behind the wheel. At least another 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The rest covers traffic laws, crash prevention, and related material. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward the 8-hour total. The format is text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. There is no live video streaming. Portage County drivers can log in and work through sections from anywhere with a browser.
