Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick up later without losing ground.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass. Finish the 8 hours minimum and pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads immediately. Submit it to the BMV or your Delaware County court the same week.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Delaware County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The 30-day completion window the state sets is not flexible. Enroll, start the material, and get the certificate submitted before the window closes.

Questions Ashley Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course?

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Third, drivers under a court order 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 generate a 2-point credit. If you are in Delaware County and unsure which category applies, the Delaware County Clerk of Courts or the Ashley Deputy Registrar can confirm what your record shows.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my record?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your Ohio driving record. Only a court can do that. What the credit does is create a cushion. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, accumulating 12 or more points within a two-year period triggers a license suspension. The 2-point credit reduces your active point total by two, which can be the difference between staying licensed and hitting that threshold after your next ticket. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. Drivers sitting at 8 or 9 points on their Delaware County record should treat this credit as a practical buffer, not a clean slate. Enroll before the next ticket lands.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll in the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your prior progress does not carry over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, that also means your license stays suspended longer. For drivers working toward a 2-point credit, the clock keeps running on your point total while you restart. Ashley residents dealing with a Delaware County court order face the same reset. The practical move is to start the material within the first day or two of enrolling and pace yourself across the 30 days so the deadline does not sneak up.

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

Pass the final exam and the system generates your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion immediately as a downloadable PDF. You do not wait for anything to process or ship. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate directly to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The nearest BMV exam station to Ashley is in Delaware, roughly 20 miles south on US-23. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Delaware County Clerk of Courts at 91 North Sandusky Street in Delaware. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the point credit after receiving the certificate. Keep a copy of the PDF for your own records in case the submission needs to be verified later.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is 40 multiple-choice questions. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 governs the exam structure. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely. You start over from the beginning, which also resets your 30-day completion window. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material rather than clicking through. The alcohol and drug section and the driver attitude content together make up at least half the course by ODPS curriculum requirement, and those topics show up heavily on the final. Take the quizzes seriously before you sit for the exam.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Ashley residents, and how does it compare?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do still exist in Ohio, but none operate in Ashley itself. Delaware County residents typically have to travel toward Delaware or look at options in Marion or Columbus. From Ashley, that is roughly 20 miles or more each way, plus you are locked into whatever date the provider schedules. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both formats satisfy the same state requirement and produce the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers the identical curriculum with no commute. For Ashley drivers already dealing with a suspended license or a court deadline, adding a 40-mile round trip to a fixed classroom date is a real logistical problem the online format eliminates.
