Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, which is a current Ohio BMV requirement. La Croft residents use the same enrollment process as any Columbiana County driver. Takes about five minutes to get through the front door.

Work Through the Course

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and general traffic safety. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to move forward. Progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up later. The state mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The final exam is 40 state-provided multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish the 8 hours requirement, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads immediately as a PDF. Submit it to the Columbiana County Clerk of Courts or the BMV the same day.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

A 12-point suspension keeps your license pulled until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is finished and the certificate hits the BMV. A court order stays open until you submit proof of completion. Even for the 2-point credit, every day you wait is another ticket away from crossing 12 points and triggering a suspension. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and protect your ability to drive in Columbiana County.

Built Around Current Ohio BMV Requirements

As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course must meet specific curriculum standards under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. This course is built to those standards. The certificate you receive, BMV Form 5789, is the document the BMV and Ohio courts accept for point credit, suspension reinstatement, and court-ordered completion.

Questions La Croft Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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 categories of Ohio drivers 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 the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Drivers who hit 12 points and received a suspension must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order the course as a condition of a case, and in that situation no point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older reinstating after a juvenile suspension, and drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension, also qualify. La Croft residents should confirm their specific reason before enrolling so the certificate goes to the right place, either the BMV or the Columbiana County Clerk of Courts.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which creates a cushion between where you sit now and the 12-point suspension threshold under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. That cushion matters when you are at 8 or 9 points and one more ticket would push you over. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. After passing the course, you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV, not to the Columbiana County Clerk of Courts, to apply the credit.

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

The state requires a full restart. Per current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window is a hard deadline. After it expires, you owe a reinstatement fee and must begin the entire course again from the beginning. None of your prior progress carries over. For La Croft drivers under a court order, a missed deadline can also create a compliance problem with the Columbiana County court that issued the order. The practical move is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and treat the 30-day window as a real deadline, not a loose guideline. The system sends reminders, but the responsibility to finish on time is yours.

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

You get the certificate immediately. Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 downloads as a digital PDF right then, no waiting period. For a 2-point credit, submit that certificate to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The nearest full-service BMV office serving La Croft residents is in East Liverpool, roughly 10 miles from La Croft in Columbiana County. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Columbiana County Clerk of Courts in Lisbon, about 25 miles from La Croft. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the only document the BMV and courts accept as proof of completion. Keep a copy for your own records after you submit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, one per calendar day, per current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the next calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the entire course resets. You start over from the beginning, which also restarts your 30-day completion window. The final exam is 40 state-provided multiple-choice questions, and you need a 75% to pass. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. La Croft drivers who have been through the course say the alcohol and drug section and the driver attitude material show up heavily on the exam.

Does finishing the 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 drivers taking it voluntarily with 2 to 11 points, is apply a 2-point credit to the current total. That credit reduces the number showing on your record and gives you more room before hitting the 12-point suspension threshold. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or completing a court order, the course satisfies the requirement and allows reinstatement or case closure, but the underlying violations remain on the record. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV or the Columbiana County Clerk of Courts depending on your situation.
