Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account at TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a state-approved Ohio driver training school. Upload a valid government-issued photo ID to confirm your identity before the course begins, as current Ohio BMV requirements mandate identity verification for all enrollees.

Work Through the Course

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. 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.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

Score 75% or higher on the 40-question state-provided final exam within 8 hours of enrollment. Pass and you instantly download BMV Form 5789. Submit it to the Wheelersburg Deputy Registrar on Gallia Pike, to the Scioto County Clerk of Courts, or directly to 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 courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket without that cushion can push a Scioto County record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

Questions Wheelersburg Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Five categories of licensed Ohio drivers qualify under 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 under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers a court has specifically ordered 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 does not generate a 2-point credit. The credit only applies to voluntary enrollment. Your next step is confirming which category applies to your Scioto County record before you enroll.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my Ohio driving record, and how often can I use it?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you toward a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. A Scioto County driver sitting at 9 points, for example, drops to 7 after the credit posts. The credit stays valid for three years from the date it is applied. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times across your lifetime. After passing, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Wheelersburg Deputy Registrar on Gallia Pike or directly to the Ohio BMV to get the credit posted.

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

The state requires you to complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per current ODPS guidelines tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that deadline and two things happen: you owe a reinstatement fee to the BMV, and you have to start the entire course over from the beginning. 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. The practical move is to pace yourself across the first two weeks rather than cramming everything into the final days. Log in, complete a section or two, and let the auto-save do its job so you stay well inside the window.

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

The certificate generates instantly as a digital PDF - BMV Form 5789 - the moment you pass the final exam. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV directly or bring it to the Wheelersburg Deputy Registrar located on Gallia Pike in Wheelersburg. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Scioto County Clerk of Courts, located at the Scioto County Courthouse in Portsmouth, roughly 10 miles north of Wheelersburg on US-23. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate must be submitted promptly - do not sit on it. Getting it to the right office the same week you pass keeps your record moving toward resolution without unnecessary delays.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions provided by the state. You need to hit 75% to pass. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, you get two attempts total, 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 back at lesson one and work through all 8 hours of instruction again. That reset also restarts your 30-day completion window. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use them. If a topic is not sticking during the lessons, retake that quiz until the material is solid before you ever open the final exam. Rushing into the exam underprepared is how drivers end up restarting the whole course.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points from a driving record. What the course does for eligible drivers - those with 2 to 11 existing points who enroll voluntarily - is apply a 2-point credit. That credit reduces your active point total by two, which creates room between where you stand today and the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension. The violations themselves stay on the record. Think of the credit as a buffer, not a clean slate. After submitting BMV Form 5789 to the Wheelersburg Deputy Registrar or the Ohio BMV, allow processing time before checking your updated point total through the BMV online portal.
