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 check is a state requirement under current ODPS guidelines, not a formality. Once verified, your 30-day completion window starts.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. You must pass each quiz to advance, with unlimited free retakes. 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 Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and get two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish in 8 hours minimum, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Hocking residents under a 12-point suspension or a court order, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is completed and the certificate is submitted. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also requires course completion within 30 days of enrollment before a reinstatement fee and full restart kick in. Getting started now keeps your options open.

Questions Hocking Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within a two-year period under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered cases do not generate a 2-point credit. For Hocking County residents, the Hocking County Clerk of Courts in Logan handles court-ordered documentation. Confirm your specific reason before enrolling so you submit the certificate to the right place.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not erase existing points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your record. Think of it as a cushion. If you have 8 points and earn the 2-point credit, your effective point total for suspension purposes drops to 6. The credit is valid for three years, can be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. It does not wipe the underlying tickets. For Hocking drivers watching their point total climb, banking this credit before the next citation is the practical move. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Logan Deputy Registrar office after passing.

What happens if I do not finish within the 30-day window?

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 course completely over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For Hocking residents under a 12-point suspension or a court order, that delay also means your license stays suspended longer and your court requirement stays open. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not when you first log in to study. Mark the date. If your schedule is tight, log in early in the enrollment period rather than waiting until the final week. Starting now is the only way to protect that window.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

The certificate, BMV Form 5789, generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. You do not wait for mail or a processing period. Download it immediately and submit it the same day. For a 2-point credit, take it to the Hocking County Deputy Registrar located in Logan, Ohio, or mail it to the Ohio BMV per current BMV requirements. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Hocking County Clerk of Courts in Logan. Keep a copy for your own records regardless of where you send the original. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the credit does not apply to your record until the BMV processes the submitted certificate, so do not sit on it.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under current ODPS guidelines governing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, you get two attempts total, limited to one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and your 30-day completion window continues to count down from your original enrollment date, not from the reset. For Hocking drivers already close to the 30-day deadline, a double failure is a serious problem. Take the exam only when you have worked through all the material and feel solid on the driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections, which together make up at least half the course content.

Is there still an in-person classroom option for Hocking County residents?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do exist in Ohio, but Hocking County has no provider inside the county. Residents would need to drive to Logan at minimum, and depending on the provider's schedule, possibly further. The nearest BMV Deputy Registrar serving Hocking County is in Logan, roughly 10 miles from the center of Hocking. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, meets the same state requirements as any approved classroom session. The certificate produced is identical, BMV Form 5789, and the BMV and courts accept it the same way. For most Hocking residents with a job and a schedule, the online format is the practical choice. There is no academic or legal advantage to sitting in a classroom.
