Ohio BMV-Approved • 100% Online or In-Person • Accepted in All 88 Counties
If your driver’s license was suspended, or you’ve accumulated too many points, or you need to reinstate your driving privileges, the Ohio BMV may require you to take an Adult Remedial Driving Course.
At OnlineTrafficEducation.com, we offer an Ohio state approved remedial program that satisfies the legal requirements for remedial driving, helps you improve your driving record, and ensure you return to driving safely, responsibly, and more importantly, legally.
What Is an Adult Remedial Driving Course?
To the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), an Adult Remedial Driving Course is:
“an 8-hour program required for reinstatement of driving privileges or ordered by a court for drivers who have accumulated 12 or more points on their record.”
— bmv.ohio.gov
This specific course helps offenders develop safe driving habits, reduces the chances of future reckless driving, and assists drivers in the full recovery of their driving rights after a temporary suspension.
Who Must Enroll in the Adult Remedial Course?
In the state of Ohio, the Adult Remedial Driving Course is compulsory because:
- You hold 12 or more points in your driving record (per Ohio Revised Code §4510.037).
- You have a suspended or revoked license. The reinstatement of the license will require course completion.
- You have a court order due to a traffic violation conviction, or
- You are seeking a 2-point credit reduction (maximum of 5 times in a lifetime, once every 3 years). This is to keep your record unsullied.
Course Format and Prerequisites
The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is approved by the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) and the Ohio BMV and has 8 hours of instruction.
