Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID to confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, and pay the enrollment fee. The identity check is a state requirement under current Ohio BMV requirements, not optional. Takes about five minutes to get through setup.

Work Through the Course Lessons

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. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up later without losing ground.

Pass the Final Exam and Download Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it, and BMV Form 5789 generates instantly as a PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum, with a required 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is running. The BMV will not process your reinstatement until the certificate lands in their system. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week without that cushion is a week where one more ticket on US-62 or SR-124 through Highland County pushes the record past 12 and triggers a suspension. The 30-day completion window under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 does not pause.

How Long This Actually Takes

The state sets an 8-hour minimum. Here is what that looks like online versus driving to a classroom in Highland County.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Complete the 8-hour minimum across multiple sessions from Highpoint, no commute time added to your day.
In-Person Add a round-trip drive to Hillsboro or Chillicothe on top of the full 8-hour class day, often a Saturday commitment.

What You Actually Pay

Online enrollment at $76.00 versus the real cost of a classroom day once you factor in gas and time off work.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online at TrafficSchool.net Flat $76.00 covers enrollment, all lessons, quizzes, the final exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate download.
In-Person Classroom Classroom fees vary, plus fuel for the drive from Highpoint to Hillsboro and any lost wages for a full weekday or Saturday.

Finish From Any Device You Have

The course runs in a browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop. No app to install. Highpoint has spotty coverage in some rural stretches of Highland County, so starting a session on home Wi-Fi before heading out keeps things moving without interruption.

    Phone, tablet, or desktop browser all work without installing anything extra on your device.

  • Auto-Saved Progress

    Every completed section saves to the server so a lost connection never sends you back to the start.

  • 30-Day Reminder

    Track your enrollment date yourself and finish before the state-mandated 30-day window closes or you restart.

Questions Highpoint Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under current Ohio BMV requirements. 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 hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a Highland County court or any Ohio court 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 OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. If you are in Highpoint and unsure which category applies, pull your driving record at the Hillsboro BMV before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove 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 the next ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. So if you are sitting at 8 points right now and a speed camera on SR-124 adds 2 more, that credit is the difference between 8 points and a suspension notice. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Hillsboro BMV or mail it to the ODPS central office to activate it.

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

The state requirement under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 is clear: the course must be completed within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that window and the enrollment expires. You pay the enrollment fee again and restart the course from the beginning. For drivers whose license is already suspended, that also means the reinstatement stays on hold and the BMV reinstatement fee clock keeps running. There is no extension process. The 30-day window is fixed. Highpoint drivers who work irregular hours or travel for work should map out their sessions before enrolling so the deadline does not sneak up. Logging in for even one lesson section per day keeps the pace manageable without cramming 8 hours into a single weekend.

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

The certificate generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. BMV Form 5789 is the official document the Ohio BMV and Ohio courts accept, per current ODPS guidelines. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. Highpoint residents can take it in person to the Hillsboro Deputy Registrar on North High Street in Hillsboro, which is the nearest full-service BMV location serving Highland County, roughly 10 miles from Highpoint. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Highland County Clerk of Courts. Do not wait. The sooner the certificate is in the system, the sooner your reinstatement or credit processes. Print a copy and keep one on file.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions provided by the state. You need a 75% to pass. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts total, 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 entire course resets. You start over from lesson one and the 30-day window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you hit the final. The alcohol and drug section and the driver attitude section together make up at least half the exam content, so do not skim those two sections thinking they are filler.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase 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 apply a 2-point credit to the current point total, reducing it by 2. That credit is a buffer, not a clean slate. The underlying violations stay on your record. If you are in Highpoint and dealing with a 12-point suspension, the course is a reinstatement requirement, not a record-clearing tool. For court-ordered completions, there is no point credit at all. The certificate proves you completed the program. Pull your official driving record through the Highland County BMV office in Hillsboro to see exactly where your total stands after the credit posts.
