Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you start. This confirms you are the licensed driver completing the course, not someone doing it on your behalf. Preble County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. You must pass each quiz to advance, but retakes are free. Ohio mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required hours. Your progress saves automatically after every section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it, and you immediately download your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law, with no maximum cap on total study time.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Preble County Clerk of Courts. For 2-point credit cases, every week you wait is another week a new ticket could push your record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you start over completely.

Get Started

Built Around Current Ohio BMV Requirements

Questions Lake Lakengren 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. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program - court-ordered students do not receive a 2-point credit, they satisfy the court requirement instead. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Preble County residents should confirm their specific reason before enrolling so the certificate goes to the right place - the BMV or the Preble County Clerk of Courts.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase your existing points or remove any violation from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a record. What the credit does is subtract 2 from your current point total, creating a cushion before you hit 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. For example, if you are sitting at 8 points, the credit brings you to 6. That matters when the next ticket would have pushed you over the edge. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio allows a maximum of five credits in a lifetime. Preble County drivers submit the completed BMV Form 5789 to the BMV to apply the credit.

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

Ohio requires completion within 30 calendar days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state voids your progress. You pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the course from the beginning - every lesson, every quiz, the full final exam. There are no extensions granted for personal scheduling conflicts. For Lake Lakengren drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay means more days without driving privileges. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the moment you start your first lesson. Log in and begin the first section the same day you enroll so you are not burning days before you have even started.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the instant you pass the final exam. There is no processing delay and no waiting for a physical document to arrive in the mail. For 2-point credit cases, you submit that certificate directly to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV Deputy Registrar serving Lake Lakengren residents is located in Eaton, Ohio, roughly 10 miles from the lake community on the west side of Preble County. For court-ordered cases, you submit the certificate to the Preble County Clerk of Courts in Eaton. Confirm the submission method your court specified - some courts accept a scanned copy, others want the original presented in person.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio allows two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely - you start over from lesson one, retake every quiz, and sit the final exam again. This is not a TrafficSchool.net policy; it is the requirement under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you reach the final. Preble County drivers on a court deadline especially cannot afford to burn both attempts carelessly.

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

Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers - those with 2 to 11 points who are not court-ordered - is apply a 2-point credit that reduces the point total by 2. That credit acts as a buffer, not a clean slate. Your underlying violations stay on the record. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or completing a court order, the course satisfies the reinstatement or compliance requirement. After you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Eaton BMV Deputy Registrar or the Preble County Clerk of Courts, confirm with that office that the credit or reinstatement has been processed.
