Yes, we can help you find out information on the remedial driving class that will credit your point total by two in Ohio.

OH laws have been in effect since 2004 that permit that an 8 hour remedial driving course can be completed to grant a two point credit to Ohio drivers who have at least two, but less than twelve points, charged against their Ohio driving record within a two year period.

Upon receipt of the application and proof of completion of the approved remedial driving course, the registrar shall approve the two-point credit.

The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) states that if the points charged against the driver are two (2) but less than twelve (12), the driver may be applicable to complete a remedial driver course. The remedial course can be completed once every three (3) years, a maximum of five credits can be granted within a lifetime. The purpose of the course is to grant a two-point credit against the total amount of points charged within a two (2) year period.

The BMV notes though that the driving class does not delete or remove any points from your Ohio driving record. It credits you 2 points against your accumulated point total. Remember that acquiring 12 points within a 2 year period will lead to your license being suspended.
