Take Ohio Traffic School to Prevent Points. Driver’s license suspension occurs when a driver in Ohio accumulates 12 or more points on his or her Bureau of Motor Vehicles drivers record through traffic violations. To prevent this penalty from setting in, you may reduce your demerit points by attending a state-approved traffic school.
You have the option of taking a remedial driving course for a credit of 2 points as long as you have AT LEAST 2 points BUT FEWER than 12 points on your Ohio driving record. This point credit doesn't remove points from your record, but rather acts as a cushion against future point accumulations. FOR EXAMPLE: If, for instance, you get a ticket.
