Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. The state requires identity verification before you start. Knox County residents use a valid Ohio driver license or state ID. The whole enrollment process takes a few minutes and your 30-day completion window starts from this point.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and traffic safety content across interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Final Exam and Download 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 meets the 8 hours state-mandated minimum required under current Ohio BMV requirements.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Knox County drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol-related offense, the clock is already running. The court requirement stays open until you submit that certificate. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get this behind you.

TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is a state-approved Ohio driver training school. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course meets current ODPS guidelines under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 for point credits, suspension reinstatements, court orders, and juvenile suspension cases.

Frequently Asked Questions from Knox County Drivers

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?

Five groups qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take the course voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them over the limit. Drivers who hit 12 points and had their license suspended must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order the course directly, and in that case no point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older reinstating after a juvenile suspension, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension, also qualify. Knox County residents should confirm their specific reason with the Fredericktown Deputy Registrar or the Knox County Clerk of Courts before enrolling.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against your existing point total. A driver sitting at 9 points who earns the credit effectively has 7 points counted toward the 12-point suspension threshold. The credit is valid for three years, can only be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Existing violations and their associated points stay on the record. Fredericktown drivers who want points actually removed need to petition the court that issued the underlying conviction, not the BMV.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under current Ohio BMV requirements tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the BMV requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. No partial credit carries forward. For Knox County drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay means more time off the road. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the moment you first log in to study. Fredericktown residents who are close to the deadline should contact the Knox County Clerk of Courts at 117 East High Street in Mount Vernon, roughly 8 miles south of Fredericktown, to confirm any court-specific deadlines running parallel to the BMV window.

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

You get the 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, you submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Knox County drivers can bring it to the Fredericktown Deputy Registrar or mail it directly to the BMV. For a court-ordered case, you submit it to the court that issued the order, typically the Knox County Municipal Court or Knox County Common Pleas Court at 117 East High Street in Mount Vernon, about 8 miles from Fredericktown on State Route 13. Confirm submission instructions with the court clerk before you go.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you get two attempts, one per calendar day, under current Ohio BMV requirements tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and your 30-day completion window continues running from your original enrollment date. That means a second failure late in the window can leave very little time to finish before the deadline hits. Fredericktown drivers should treat the final seriously. Review the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug material before attempting, since those two areas make up at least half the course content by state mandate.

Is there still an in-person classroom option available near Fredericktown, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do exist in Ohio, but none operate in Fredericktown itself. Knox County residents looking for a classroom would need to drive to Mount Vernon or farther, adding commute time on top of the full course hours. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the online version meets the same state requirements as the classroom version and produces the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers the identical curriculum, including the mandatory driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections. For most Fredericktown drivers juggling work schedules, the online option is the more practical path to getting the requirement handled.
