In Cincinnati, Ohio if you are convicted of speeding at a rate of 51 mph in a 35 mph zone, thus 16 mph over the posted limit, 2 points should be assessed to your OH driving record.

To find out what the fine or other penalties will be if you are convicted of this speeding ticket you can call the OH court listed on your citation. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) should be able to give you more information on points and how this ticket will affect your driving record.

In Ohio a driver who accumulates more than five but no more than 11 points for traffic violations is eligible for a one-time, two-point credit by completing an approved remedial driving course.

The two-point credit offered through this program does not erase any convictions from a person’s official driving record and does not eliminate any prior convictions that an insurance company may take into consideration in premium assessments. All convictions remain on the driver’s record, but the points needed for the 12-point suspension are extended by two.

If you should accumulate 12 or more points within a two-year period on your Ohio driving record the BMV can do the do the following:

• Suspend your driving privileges for six months
• Proof of financial responsibility must be filed with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and maintained for three years. Your insurance company will notify the BMV if, within the three-year monitoring period, your policy lapses, is non-renewed or is terminated.
• Upon completion of suspension, a remedial driving course approved by the Director of Public Safety must be taken. The course must include a minimum of 25% of its classroom hours devoted to instruction on driver attitude.
• A new driving test must be taken
