Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. This identity check is a state requirement under current ODPS guidelines, not optional. Takes a few minutes to get through before your first lesson unlocks.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to move forward. Ohio requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

A 12-point suspension keeps your Franklin County driving privileges frozen until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is complete and the certificate is submitted to the BMV. For court-ordered cases, the requirement stays open on your record until the court receives confirmation. And for anyone sitting at 6, 8, or 10 points right now, one more ticket can trigger a suspension before you ever see it coming. The 30-day completion window starts at enrollment.

Questions Bexley Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, licensed Ohio drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a Franklin County court or any Ohio court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older dealing with a juvenile suspension that happened before they turned 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit; the other four situations may qualify for one. Check your BMV record or court paperwork to confirm which category applies to you before enrolling.

Does completing the course actually remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove existing points from your record. Only an Ohio court can order point removal. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation. If you have 8 points and earn the credit, your effective point total for suspension purposes drops to 6. That credit is valid for three years, can only be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. For Bexley drivers sitting close to 12 points, that cushion can be the difference between keeping your license and triggering a suspension. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Franklin County BMV office on East Broad Street to get the credit applied.

What happens if I do not finish the course within 30 days of enrolling?

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For Bexley drivers on a court deadline or trying to get a suspended license reinstated before they need to drive to work, that restart is a real problem. The nearest BMV to Bexley is the Franklin County BMV Deputy Registrar on East Broad Street, roughly two miles from central Bexley. Your certificate has to reach them or your court within the timeframe your order specifies. Enroll only when you have a realistic 30-day window to finish, and track your enrollment date from day one.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

The certificate generates instantly. Pass the 40-question final exam and BMV Form 5789 downloads as a digital PDF the same day, sometimes within minutes of your last answer. For 2-point credit cases, you submit that certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Franklin County Deputy Registrar location on East Broad Street, about two miles from central Bexley, handles BMV submissions for local residents. For court-ordered cases, submit directly to the Franklin County Clerk of Courts at 373 South High Street in Columbus, roughly four miles from Bexley. Keep a copy of the certificate for your own records regardless of where you submit. Current Ohio BMV requirements do not allow the provider to submit on your behalf, so you handle that step yourself after downloading.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the 40-question state-provided final exam, but only one attempt per calendar day under current ODPS guidelines. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate normally. Fail both attempts and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires the course to reset entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you hit the final. Bexley drivers who are close to their 30-day window when they fail both attempts should contact the provider immediately to understand their options before the window closes completely.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Bexley residents, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions still exist in the Columbus area, but none operate inside Bexley itself. Bexley sits in Franklin County, and the closest classroom providers are typically in Columbus proper, meaning you are looking at a commute, a fixed date, and sitting through the full 8-hour block in one stretch with no ability to pause. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 does not require in-person attendance for the Adult Remedial Driving Course; the online format meets the same state standards. When I went through this, the idea of blocking out an entire Saturday to sit in a Columbus classroom when I could log in from home across a few evenings made the choice obvious. The certificate you get at the end is identical regardless of format. For most Bexley drivers, the online course through TrafficSchool.net is the more practical path.
