Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. This identity verification step is required by the Ohio Department of Public Safety before any coursework begins. Broadview Heights residents use their Ohio driver license or state ID.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug effects on driving, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and must be passed to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up without losing ground. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Final 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. Fail both and the course resets entirely. Pass, and you receive your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion instantly as a digital PDF. The total course takes 8 hours minimum to complete under state rules.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or clearing a court order, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking the 2-point credit, one more ticket on Royalton Road or I-77 could push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio law also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish before you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Questions Broadview Heights Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record before the next ticket causes a problem. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered drivers do not receive the 2-point credit. Start by confirming which category applies to your Cuyahoga County record.

Does finishing the course actually remove points from my Ohio record?

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your driving record. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation - it does not erase existing points or violations already recorded. If you have 8 points and earn the credit, the BMV treats your record as if it carries 6 points going forward. That gap matters when the next ticket would otherwise push you to 12 and trigger a suspension. Broadview Heights drivers should pull their current record from the Deputy Registrar on Royalton Road to see exactly where they stand before enrolling.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a firm 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 - none of your completed lessons carry over. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay extends the time you cannot legally drive in Cuyahoga County. The practical move is to treat the 30-day clock seriously from day one. Mark your enrollment date, build in time for the mandatory 10-minute breaks after every two hours of instruction, and leave yourself at least a few days before the deadline in case the final exam requires a second attempt.

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

Pass the 40-question final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately - no waiting period, no processing queue. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Broadview Heights residents can do that through the Deputy Registrar office or directly through the Ohio BMV. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts, located in downtown Cleveland roughly 15 miles north of Broadview Heights. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the only document the BMV or court needs from you to process the completion. Keep a digital copy for your own records after you submit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam gives you two attempts, 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 Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires the entire course to reset - you start over from lesson one with no credit for prior work. The exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. The course material covers the same content the exam tests, so going back through the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug modules before your second attempt is worth the time. Broadview Heights drivers who treat the lessons seriously the first time through rarely need that second attempt.

How often can I use the 2-point credit, and does it expire?

Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the 2-point credit is available to licensed Ohio drivers who carry between 2 and 11 points on their record. Once applied, the credit is valid for three years and cannot be used again until that three-year period ends. Over a lifetime, the credit can be applied a maximum of five times total. It does not stack - completing the course twice in one year does not give you a 4-point reduction. For Broadview Heights drivers who commute regularly on I-77 or Route 82 and accumulate points gradually over time, using this credit strategically every three years can keep the record from ever reaching the 12-point suspension threshold. Check your current point total at the Cuyahoga County Deputy Registrar before enrolling.
