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 ODPS before any coursework begins. Delaware County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and related traffic safety topics through text and image-based interactive lessons. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours. Your progress saves automatically after each section.

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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law. Submit the certificate to the Delaware County BMV Deputy Registrar or the Clerk of Courts, depending on your situation.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the BMV does not reinstate your license until the certificate lands in their system. For court-ordered cases, the Delaware County Clerk of Courts is waiting on that document. And for drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week you wait is another week a ticket could push your record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Use them.

Questions Delaware Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers qualify 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 as a cushion against future tickets. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for reaching 12 or more points in a two-year period. Third, drivers ordered by a Delaware 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 OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net and select the reason that matches your situation.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can order points removed 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. If your record shows 8 points, the credit brings your effective total to 6 for suspension threshold purposes. Existing violations and their associated points stay on your record. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. For Delaware County drivers watching their point total climb, banking this credit before the next ticket is the practical move. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Delaware Deputy Registrar on North Sandusky Street after you pass.

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

Ohio requires completion of the Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window 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 on hold. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means another month of exposure to a suspension-triggering ticket on US-36 or anywhere else in Delaware County. Log in consistently, use the auto-save feature between sessions, and treat the 30-day window as a hard deadline, not a suggestion.

How fast do I get my certificate and where do I send it?

Pass the final exam and you get BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF. Download it immediately. No waiting for mail. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers earning a 2-point credit or reinstating after a 12-point suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Delaware County BMV Deputy Registrar is located on North Sandusky Street in Delaware and handles local submissions. Drivers completing a court-ordered program submit the certificate directly to the Delaware County Clerk of Courts, located at 91 North Sandusky Street. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the credit after receiving Form 5789. Confirm current submission instructions with the BMV or your court before you drop it off.

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 both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window becomes a real problem if you burned days before the exam. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you hit the final. Delaware County drivers who treat the quizzes as checkpoints rather than obstacles tend to pass the final without burning their second attempt.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Delaware County drivers, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom options do still exist in Ohio under ODPS approval, but finding one convenient to Delaware County is a real obstacle. Most available classrooms require driving toward Columbus or Marion, adding 30 to 45 minutes each way on top of the mandatory 8-hour course floor. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, meets the identical requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 and delivers BMV Form 5789 the same day you pass. There are no fixed class times, no seat availability issues, and no commute. For drivers already managing a suspended license and limited transportation options in Delaware County, the online format is the practical choice. Both formats satisfy current Ohio BMV requirements equally.
