Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, confirm you hold a valid Ohio license, and upload a government-issued photo ID. Identity verification is required by the state before any coursework begins. Mahoning County residents in Struthers follow the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver - no separate registration with the BMV is needed before you start.

Work Through the Course Material

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, traffic law, and crash prevention. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out after a chapter and pick back up later. The state requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you download your BMV Form 5789 certificate immediately. The course requires a minimum of 8 hours of instruction time, and the state gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or clearing a court order, nothing changes until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the clock matters too - one more ticket before you finish can push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

In-Person Classroom

How Long Does Each Option Actually Take?

Both formats meet the same state-mandated 8-hour floor. The difference is when and where those hours happen.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Complete your required hours across multiple sessions on your own schedule, with progress saved automatically after each section so nothing is lost between logins.
In-Person Classroom Attend a full scheduled session at a Youngstown-area site, typically in one or two long blocks, with no option to pause and resume on your own time.

What Does Each Option Cost Struthers Drivers?

Price is one factor. Factor in gas, time off work, and the drive from Struthers to a Mahoning County classroom site.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course Flat fee of $76.00 covers full course access, all lesson quizzes, the final exam, and your instant BMV Form 5789 certificate download.

Pick Up Where You Left Off Anytime

The course saves your progress server-side after every section. Log in from a phone during a lunch break, switch to a laptop at home that evening, and the system picks up exactly where you stopped. There is no daily hour cap, so you can move through as much or as little material as your schedule allows on any given day.

    Phone, tablet, or desktop - the course loads on whatever you have available without a separate app download.

  • Auto-Saved Progress

    Every completed section saves automatically to the server so a lost connection never costs you completed work.

Questions Struthers Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify 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 as a cushion before the next ticket. 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 clearing a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Struthers residents in any of these situations can enroll through TrafficSchool.net and submit the resulting BMV Form 5789 to the Mahoning County Clerk of Courts or the nearest BMV office in Youngstown.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. What the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does is apply a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 - that credit acts as a buffer, reducing your effective point total by two so the next ticket is less likely to push you over 12. The credit is valid for three years from the date of completion, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. Your existing violations and their associated points stay on the record. The practical next step for Struthers drivers is to submit BMV Form 5789 to the Mahoning County BMV Deputy Registrar on Youngstown Road after passing the final exam.

What happens if I do not finish within the 30-day window?

The state's 30-day completion window is set under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss it and two things happen: you owe a reinstatement fee to re-enroll, and you start the entire course over from the beginning - no credit for sections already completed. For drivers in a suspension situation, that also means more days without a valid license while you restart. The 30-day clock starts on your enrollment date, not the date you first log in to study. Struthers drivers who are juggling shifts at work or family schedules should log in consistently rather than saving everything for the final week. The course has no daily hour cap, so you can move through multiple sections in a single sitting when time allows.

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

The certificate generates immediately. Pass the 40-question final exam and you download BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF right then - no waiting for mail, no processing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit that certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office serving Struthers residents is in Youngstown, roughly 5 miles north on South Avenue. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Mahoning County Clerk of Courts, located at 120 Market Street in Youngstown. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate must be submitted to the appropriate agency - the course provider does not file it on your behalf. Keep a digital copy for your own records after submission.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the 40-question state-provided final exam, but only one attempt per calendar day under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 course rules. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely - you start back at lesson one and the 30-day window restarts from that point. The passing score is 75%. 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. Struthers drivers who are close to the 30-day deadline when they fail the second attempt should contact the course provider immediately to understand their reinstatement options before re-enrolling.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Struthers residents, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions are still an approved format under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, but finding a scheduled session near Struthers means driving into Youngstown or further into Mahoning County, taking time off work to match a fixed class schedule, and paying whatever that provider charges plus fuel. When I went through this, the online format covered the same curriculum - the driver attitude block, the alcohol and drug section, the traffic law material - without me having to coordinate a day off. The Struthers Deputy Registrar on Youngstown Road does not administer the course itself; that office handles license transactions after you finish. For most working adults in Struthers, the online course through TrafficSchool.net is the more practical path to the same state-recognized certificate.
