Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Work Through the Course Lessons

Complete text and image-based interactive lessons covering 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.

Pass the Final Exam and Get 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 you immediately download your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours as mandated by Ohio law.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Clerk of Courts in Warren County. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on SR-48 or Kings Island Road could push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio law also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish before the state wipes your progress and adds a reinstatement fee. Start now and protect your driving privileges.

Questions Lebanon Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed 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 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 in a two-year period. Third, drivers who received a court order requiring the course - no point credit applies in that case. Fourth, drivers age 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. Lebanon drivers should confirm which category applies by checking their BMV suspension notice or the Warren County court order before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your Ohio record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion so the next ticket is less likely to push you over 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays active for three years from the date the BMV applies it. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times across your lifetime. Drivers in the Lebanon area submit the completed BMV Form 5789 certificate to the Lebanon Deputy Registrar or directly to the Ohio BMV to activate the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window starting from your enrollment date. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning - no partial credit carries over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, the suspension stays in effect the entire time. For 2-point credit cases, every day without the certificate is another day a ticket on SR-48 or I-71 near Lebanon could push the record past 12 points. The practical move is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and work through it steadily across the 30-day window rather than waiting until the final week.

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

Pass the 40-question final exam and the system generates your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF immediately - same session, no waiting period. For a 2-point credit, submit that certificate to the Ohio BMV or drop it off at the Lebanon Deputy Registrar, located at 245 East Main Street in Lebanon, which serves Warren County drivers for most BMV transactions. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate to the Warren County Clerk of Courts, about two miles from the Lebanon Deputy Registrar in downtown Lebanon. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the BMV processes the point credit after receiving the Form 5789. Keep a copy of the certificate for your own records regardless of where you submit it.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Fail it and you get one more attempt, but Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to one attempt per calendar day, so the second try cannot happen until the following day. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate normally. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely - you start over from lesson one and the clock on your 30-day window keeps running. That scenario is the one worth avoiding. The lesson quizzes throughout the course are unlimited retakes, so use them to actually learn the material rather than clicking through. Drivers who work through the driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections carefully tend to find the final exam manageable.

Does completing 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 eligible drivers - those with 2 to 11 points who are not completing it under a court order - is generate a 2-point credit that the BMV applies to the current point total. Think of it as a buffer. A driver sitting at 9 points who earns the credit drops to 7, which means one more moderate ticket no longer immediately triggers the 12-point suspension threshold. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Lebanon Deputy Registrar on East Main Street to get that credit applied to your Warren County record.
