Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires identity verification before you start. Takes a few minutes. Once confirmed, you move straight into the course material.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drugs, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you log out and pick back up without losing ground. Ohio mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required 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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. Fail both and the course resets. Pass, and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The total course runs 8 hours minimum, as required by ODPS.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or the clerk's office. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can push you into a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions from Boston Heights Drivers

Who actually has to take this course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Ohio recognizes five reasons to take the Adult Remedial Driving Course under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension must complete it before the BMV restores their license. Drivers with a court order complete it because a judge required it, and no 2-point credit applies in that situation. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit as a cushion against future tickets. Drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension and drivers 19 or older dealing with a juvenile suspension also qualify. Boston Heights residents should confirm their specific reason before enrolling so the certificate goes to the right place.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What it does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which creates a cushion before a future ticket pushes you over 12 points and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in a lifetime. For a Boston Heights driver sitting at 9 or 10 points, that 2-point buffer is the difference between keeping your license and losing it after one more moving violation.

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 deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers on a court order or reinstating a suspended license, missing the window also means your license stays suspended longer and your court requirement stays open. The Summit County Clerk of Courts, located in Akron at 209 South High Street, does not grant extensions for missed course deadlines. Enroll only when you have a realistic stretch of days to finish, and treat the 30-day mark as a firm cutoff.

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

Pass the final exam and you get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF certificate immediately. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV branch serving Boston Heights is in Cuyahoga Falls, roughly 10 miles from Boston Heights on State Route 8. You can also submit it by mail to the BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate to the court that issued the order, which for Summit County cases is typically the Summit County Clerk of Courts in Akron. Submit it promptly. The certificate does nothing sitting in your downloads folder.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, you get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes, so use those to lock in the material before you hit the final. Boston Heights drivers who read through the driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections carefully tend to do fine on the exam.

Does completing this course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points through a court order. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit to the current point total, reducing the number that counts toward a 12-point suspension. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on the record. For Boston Heights drivers who want points removed, that requires going back to the court that handled the original offense and requesting relief there. The course handles the BMV requirement and protects your license going forward. It does not rewrite what already happened.
