Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, confirm you meet Ohio eligibility requirements, and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. This step confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, which is required under current ODPS guidelines before any instruction begins.

Work Through the Course Material

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and general traffic safety. Your progress saves automatically after each section. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours, and that break time does not count toward your total instruction 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 in 8 hours minimum and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly for submission to the BMV or your Crawford County court.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Crawford County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Approved for Every Reason Ohio Requires This Course

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, meets current Ohio BMV requirements for point credit, 12-point suspension reinstatement, court orders, juvenile suspensions, and under-21 alcohol-related suspensions. One course, all five recognized situations covered under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06.

Questions Bucyrus Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers are required or eligible to take this course 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 a license suspended for reaching 12 or more points in a two-year period. Third, drivers ordered by a Crawford County court or any Ohio court 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 alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Your next step is confirming which category applies to you before enrolling.

Does finishing 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, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your record. That credit acts as a cushion, reducing your point total by two so a future ticket is less likely to push you over 12 and trigger a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and you can earn it a maximum of five times in your lifetime. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on your record. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Bucyrus Deputy Registrar or the nearest BMV office to apply the credit.

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

The state requires you to complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that deadline and your enrollment expires. You will need to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the course entirely from the beginning. None of your previously completed lessons carry over. For drivers with a suspended license, this means your license stays suspended longer while you wait to restart and finish. For court-ordered cases, the open requirement stays on your record with the Crawford County Clerk of Courts until the certificate is submitted. The practical move is to start the course and keep moving through it consistently so the 30-day window is not a problem.

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

You get your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Bucyrus Deputy Registrar on Sandusky Street or to the nearest full-service BMV office, which for most Crawford County residents is in Marion, roughly 30 miles south on US-30. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Crawford County Clerk of Courts at the courthouse on Third Street in Bucyrus. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the certificate must be submitted before the credit or reinstatement is processed. Print it or send it electronically depending on what the court or BMV office accepts.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the state-provided 40-question final exam, 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 BMV Form 5789 certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. You start over from the beginning, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course are different. Those have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, but they do not count as exam attempts. The final exam covers the full curriculum, including the driver attitude material and the alcohol and drug sections, so working through the lessons carefully before attempting the exam matters.

Is there still an in-person classroom option available near Bucyrus?

No active in-person classroom for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course operates in Bucyrus or Crawford County as of the latest ODPS guidelines. Drivers who want a classroom session typically have to travel to Marion or Mansfield, which is a 30-plus mile round trip from Bucyrus on US-30 or US-30 east, and then schedule around whatever dates the provider has available. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is approved under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 and covers the same state-mandated curriculum. You complete it on your own schedule, your progress saves automatically after each section, and you get the same BMV Form 5789 certificate at the end. For most Crawford County drivers, the online option is the more practical path.
