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 Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires identity verification before coursework begins. Wood County residents can use an Ohio driver license issued through the Wood Deputy Registrar in Bowling Green as their ID document.

Complete the Course Lessons

Work through text and image-based interactive lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required hours.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish the required 8 hours minimum, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF so you can submit it to the BMV or your court the same day.

Your License Stays on Hold Until This Gets 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, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get the record sorted out before the window closes.

Common Questions from Wood County Drivers

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 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 OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn the 2-point credit. Wood County drivers can confirm their specific situation with the Wood County Clerk of Courts in Bowling Green before enrolling.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation. If your record shows 9 points and you earn the 2-point credit, the BMV treats your total as 7 points for suspension threshold purposes going forward. Existing violations and their points stay on your record. The credit is valid for three years, can be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Wood County drivers can verify their current point total by contacting the Ohio BMV office in Bowling Green before deciding whether to enroll.

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

Ohio requires you to complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already under a 12-point suspension or a court order, that delay also extends the time your license stays suspended or your court requirement stays open. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Wood County drivers with a court deadline should check their order date against the enrollment date to make sure the windows align before starting.

How fast do I get my certificate, and where do I send it?

The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates your BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF. You download it immediately. No waiting for a mailed document. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office serving Wood County residents is located in Bowling Green on East Wooster Street, roughly 5 miles from the Wood Deputy Registrar also in Bowling Green. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued your order, typically the Wood County Municipal Court or the Wood County Court of Common Pleas. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the certificate must be submitted before the BMV processes any reinstatement or credit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course has 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. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate normally. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and do not count against you. Wood County drivers who want to avoid a reset should review the alcohol and drug material and the driver attitude sections closely before attempting the final.

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, with no maximum. Per ODPS curriculum requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, at least 25 percent of the course covers driver attitude, and at least 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The rest covers Ohio traffic law, hazard recognition, and crash prevention. Ohio also mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required hours. The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Having grown up driving the rural two-lanes around Wood County, the material on impaired driving and attitude behind the wheel hits differently when you know those roads.
