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. Montgomery County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver - no separate local registration required.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and related traffic safety content. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up without losing ground.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. Complete the required 8 hours of instruction first, then take the exam. Pass it and you get BMV Form 5789 instantly - print it or save the PDF and submit it to the Centerville Deputy Registrar or the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts.

Your License Stays on Hold Until This Is Done

A 12-point suspension does not lift on its own. A court order stays open until the certificate lands with the clerk. And if you are sitting at 8 or 9 points right now, one more ticket on I-675 near the Centerville Road interchange can push you past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment to finish. Bank the credit or clear the requirement before the clock runs out.

Questions Centerville Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit as a cushion. Drivers who hit 12 points and received a suspension must complete it before reinstatement. Courts can also order it directly - in that case, no 2-point credit applies, the completion just satisfies the court requirement. Drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension, also qualify. If you are a Centerville resident unsure which category applies, the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts or the Centerville Deputy Registrar can confirm your situation before you enroll.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract 2 from your current point total, giving you a cushion before a future ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it, and you can use it once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Centerville Deputy Registrar on Spring Valley Road or directly to the Ohio BMV after passing the course. The credit posts to your record once the BMV processes the certificate.

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

The state requires a full restart if you miss the 30-day completion deadline. That means paying the reinstatement fee and beginning the course from the beginning - your previous progress does not carry over. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets this requirement, and TrafficSchool.net enforces it as a state-approved Ohio driver training school. For Centerville drivers dealing with a 12-point suspension, missing the window extends the time your license stays suspended, which means more days unable to drive on 725 or anywhere else in Montgomery County. Log back in before the deadline. The course saves your progress automatically after each section, so finishing on time is a matter of managing the calendar, not starting over from scratch mid-course.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam - no waiting for mail, no processing delay. Download it immediately and decide where it goes based on your situation. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV or bring it to the Centerville Deputy Registrar located on Spring Valley Road in Centerville, roughly 10 minutes from most parts of the city. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts, located at 41 North Perry Street in Dayton, about 15 miles north of Centerville. Current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 govern how the credit posts once the BMV receives and processes the certificate.

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. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely - you start over from the beginning and the 30-day window restarts from that point. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 governs the exam structure for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you hit the final. Centerville drivers who are close to the 30-day deadline should factor in the one-attempt-per-day rule when planning their schedule so a failed first attempt does not push them past the window.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Only an Ohio court has the authority to expunge or reduce points under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit to your current total when you submit BMV Form 5789 and the BMV processes it - that credit lowers the number the BMV is counting against you, creating a buffer before a future ticket triggers a suspension. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for a 12-point suspension reinstatement, the certificate satisfies the requirement but does not alter the underlying record. The Montgomery County Clerk of Courts or the Centerville Deputy Registrar can answer questions specific to your record before you enroll.
