Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you start. Clayton residents covered by Montgomery County courts or the Clayton Deputy Registrar on Shiloh Springs Road can use the same enrollment process regardless of which office sent them here.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so you can log out and pick up where you left off.

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 you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The full course runs 8 hours minimum under the state-mandated 8-hour floor.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling a court order, 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 10 points can push you into suspension territory fast. Ohio also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and the state requires a reinstatement fee and a full restart from the beginning.

In-Person Classroom

Classroom sessions require you to drive to a fixed location, commit to a full-day block, and work around an instructor's schedule rather than your own.

Fixed Schedule Required

You show up when the class runs, not when your schedule opens up.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

The state sets an 8-hour minimum. Here is how the two formats compare for a Clayton driver.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Work through the 8-hour minimum across multiple sessions within your 30-day window, logging in and out as your schedule allows with no daily hour cap imposed by the state.
In-Person Classroom Commit to a full-day classroom block at a fixed location, drive there and back from Clayton, and fit your schedule around the instructor's calendar rather than your own.

What Does the Course Cost?

Online and in-person both satisfy the state requirement. The price difference is real.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online via TrafficSchool.net $76.00 covers enrollment, all quizzes, the state final exam, and your instant BMV Form 5789 certificate with no additional fees at checkout.
In-Person Classroom Classroom providers typically charge more than $76.00 and that figure does not include fuel, parking, or the time cost of driving across Montgomery County for a full-day session.

Finish the Course From Any Device

The course runs in any mobile browser. A Clayton driver who works a shift at one of the plants off Benchwood Road can log in during a lunch break, knock out a section, and pick it up again that evening from the couch. No app download required. Progress saves automatically every time you complete a section.

    Phone, tablet, or laptop - the course loads in any current browser without a separate app installation required.

Questions Clayton 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 a 2-point credit?

Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 recognize five situations: accumulating 2 to 11 points and wanting a 2-point credit, reinstating after a 12-point suspension, fulfilling a court order, reinstating after a juvenile suspension if you are now 19 or older, and reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC suspension. The court-ordered situation is different in one key way: completing the course for a court order does not generate a 2-point credit. The credit only applies when you enroll voluntarily to reduce your point exposure. If the Montgomery County Municipal Court ordered you to complete this course, submit the certificate to the clerk, not the BMV, unless your attorney tells you otherwise. Check your paperwork before you enroll to confirm which reason applies to you.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, giving you a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension. If you are sitting at 8 points and you earn the credit, your effective total drops to 6. The credit is valid for three years from the date it is applied, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. Clayton drivers who want to bank the credit before a ticket on SR-49 or I-70 forces the issue should enroll before the next violation lands, not after.

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 start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, that also means your license stays suspended longer. The 30-day clock starts the moment you create your account and begin the course, not when you first log back in after a break. Clayton residents who are juggling a work schedule should map out their sessions across the first two weeks rather than leaving the bulk of the 8-hour minimum for the final days of the window.

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 an instant digital PDF. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. For a 2-point credit or a 12-point suspension reinstatement, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV Deputy Registrar for Clayton residents is the Clayton Deputy Registrar on Shiloh Springs Road in Clayton, and the Dayton BMV Regional Office is roughly 10 miles south. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, such as the Montgomery County Municipal Court or whichever court has jurisdiction over your case. Current Ohio BMV requirements allow electronic submission in some cases, but confirm the accepted format with your specific court or BMV office before you submit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, 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. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, the 30-day window resets, and you go through all the material again before you can attempt the exam a third time. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Rushing through the lessons to get to the exam faster is the most common reason people end up restarting the course.

Does finishing 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. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court has the authority to remove points from an Ohio driving record. What the course does, when you enroll for the 2-point credit reason, is apply a 2-point credit that reduces your current point total by two. That credit creates a buffer between where you are now and the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension. Existing violations stay on your record for the standard retention period regardless of whether you complete this course. If your goal is actual point removal, that requires a separate legal process through the court that issued the underlying conviction. The Clayton Deputy Registrar on Shiloh Springs Road can confirm your current point total before you decide which step to take next.
