Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you start. Westfield Center residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. Your record, your name, your ID. Takes a few minutes to confirm and you are in.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug effects on driving, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Progress saves automatically after every section. Ohio 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 75% to pass. Two attempts allowed, one per calendar day. Pass and you get your BMV Form 5789 PDF instantly. Submit it to the Medina County BMV or your court. Total course time is 8 hours minimum.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes until the certificate lands at the BMV or the clerk's office. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push it past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The 30-day completion window starts at enrollment. Get the course finished and the certificate submitted before the clock runs out.

Questions Westfield Center Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record before the next ticket causes a problem. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 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. Court-ordered completions do not earn the 2-point credit. Westfield Center drivers in any of these situations can enroll through TrafficSchool.net today.

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 cushion. If your record sits at 9 points and you earn the 2-point credit, the BMV treats it as 7 points for suspension threshold purposes. The credit is valid for three years, can only be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Existing violations stay on your record. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Medina County BMV office on Huntington Street to get the credit applied.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, the suspension stays active the entire time the course sits unfinished. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every day without the certificate is another day a new ticket could push the record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Westfield Center drivers should treat the enrollment date as the start of a hard deadline, not a suggestion. Start the course and keep moving.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. No waiting, no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest BMV office serving Westfield Center residents is in Medina, roughly 15 miles north on State Route 3. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the Medina County Clerk of Courts, located at 93 Public Square in Medina. Confirm the submission method your court requires, whether electronic or physical, before you send it. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the credit after receiving the completed Form 5789.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need 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 the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one and the 30-day window becomes a real problem. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes, so use them. Do not rush into the final exam if the material from the driver attitude section or the alcohol and drug section does not feel solid yet. Westfield Center drivers who prep through the quizzes consistently pass on the first attempt.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Westfield Center, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course are rare in Medina County. When they do run, they require you to find an open date, drive to Medina or further, sit through the full session on someone else's schedule, and then wait for a paper certificate to process. Westfield Center sits about 15 miles south of Medina on State Route 3, so the round trip alone adds time and fuel cost. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, meets the same Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements, issues the same BMV Form 5789, and lets you work around your actual schedule. For most Westfield Center drivers, the online option is the practical call.
