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. Takes a few minutes to set up, and your progress saves automatically server-side after every section so nothing gets lost if you close the browser.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Final 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. Complete the required 8 hours minimum, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes 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 straight into a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start completely over.

Questions Convoy Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Ohio recognizes five situations under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Third, drivers with a court order to complete 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. The court-ordered situation does not earn a 2-point credit. The other situations do, depending on eligibility. Van Wert County residents can confirm their specific reason with the Convoy Deputy Registrar before enrolling.

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 create a cushion. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the BMV applies a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which can keep you below the 12-point suspension threshold if another ticket comes in. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. Drivers sitting at 8 or 10 points on a record that already has tickets from SR-118 or US-127 should not wait on this. Submit your certificate to the Van Wert County BMV office after passing.

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 already dealing with a suspended license, that delay extends the time your driving privileges stay restricted. For 2-point credit cases, it leaves your record unprotected longer. The practical move is to log in consistently across the first two weeks rather than cramming everything into the final days. The Convoy Deputy Registrar on Tully Street can answer questions about your specific BMV case status while you work through the course.

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

Pass the final exam and the system generates your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV to Convoy is in Van Wert, roughly 12 miles east on US-30. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, which for Van Wert County residents is typically the Van Wert County Clerk of Courts. Current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 specify that the certificate must come from a state-approved provider, which TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to two attempts, and you can only take one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and your second attempt opens Tuesday at the earliest. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The passing score is 75%. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the exam. Rushing through the alcohol and drug sections and the driver attitude material without reviewing the quizzes is the most common reason people hit the exam underprepared.

Does finishing this 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 an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is generate a 2-point credit that the BMV applies to your current point total. That credit creates a buffer between where your record sits now and the 12-point suspension threshold. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the requirement that must be met before driving privileges are restored, but the underlying violations stay on the record. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate must be submitted to the BMV or the issuing court to take effect. Contact the Van Wert County Clerk of Courts for court-specific questions.
