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. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires identity verification before the course begins. Valley View residents use the same enrollment process whether they are banking a 2-point credit or reinstating after a 12-point suspension.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law through text and image-based interactive lessons. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick up later without losing ground.

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. Finish in 8 hours minimum. Pass the exam and BMV Form 5789 downloads immediately as a PDF so you can submit it to the BMV or Cuyahoga County court the same day.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the cushion only works if you finish before the next ticket pushes your total past 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also gives you a hard 30-day completion window from enrollment. Start now and protect your driving privileges.

Questions Valley View 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, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year window. Third, drivers a court has ordered to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before they turned 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered drivers do not receive a 2-point credit. The practical next step is confirming which category applies to you before enrolling at TrafficSchool.net.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit to your record under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, but it does not erase existing points or violations. Think of it as a cushion. If you currently sit at 8 points, the credit brings your effective total to 6, which gives you more room before a future ticket pushes you to 12 and triggers a suspension. Only an Ohio court can actually remove points from your record. The credit is valid for three years, usable once every three years, and available a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Check your current point total through the Cuyahoga County BMV office before deciding whether to enroll.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay the reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For Valley View drivers whose license is already suspended, that means more days off the road while you restart. For drivers banking a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them over the limit, the delay leaves the record unprotected longer. Log in consistently across the 30 days rather than leaving everything to the final weekend. The nearest BMV office on Rockside Road in Independence, about 5 miles away, cannot extend that window.

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

The moment you pass the final exam, BMV Form 5789 generates as a downloadable PDF. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Valley View residents can visit the Cuyahoga County BMV office located on Rockside Road in Independence, roughly 5 miles from Valley View, or submit through the BMV's online portal per current Ohio BMV requirements. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts. Check your court paperwork for the specific submission deadline the judge set. Getting the certificate the same day you pass means you can handle the submission that same week.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 allows 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, and the 30-day completion window becomes a real concern at that point. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and must be passed before advancing, so treat those as practice for the final. Valley View drivers who work through the driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections carefully tend to walk into the final better prepared.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs a minimum of 8 hours under the state-mandated floor set by Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Per ODPS requirements, at least 25 percent of the content covers driver attitude, and at least 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The rest addresses Ohio traffic law and safe driving practices. The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons, not live video streaming. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your 8 hours. When I went through the alcohol and drug section, the material on impairment and reaction time was more detailed than I expected. Work through it steadily and the 30-day window is not a problem.
