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 begin. Delaware County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. The whole setup takes a few minutes before your first lesson unlocks.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to move forward. Ohio requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and BMV Form 5789 downloads immediately as a PDF you submit to the BMV or your court.

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. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the next ticket could push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension before the credit is in place. Ohio also requires you to finish within 30 days of enrollment or the state mandates a reinstatement fee and a full restart. Getting enrolled now is the only move that protects your driving privileges in Delaware County.

Approved for Every Reason Ohio Recognizes

Questions Lewis Center 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 applied to their record before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring 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. Delaware County residents in any of these situations enroll through TrafficSchool.net and submit the certificate to the BMV or the Delaware County Clerk of Courts depending on their case.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future points. If you currently have 8 points, the credit brings your effective total down to 6 for suspension threshold purposes. It does not erase the violations or the original points that are already posted. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. For Delaware County drivers watching a point total climb, banking the credit before the next ticket is the practical move. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers reinstating a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order, an expired window means the license stays suspended and the court requirement stays open longer. The 30-day clock starts on your enrollment date, not the date you first log in to study. Delaware County drivers should note the enrollment date and pace sessions across the month to avoid a restart. Enroll only when you have the time to finish within the window.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate directly to the Ohio BMV. The Lewis Center Deputy Registrar, located on Polaris Parkway in the Polaris area of Delaware County, can process BMV submissions for local drivers. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Delaware County Clerk of Courts, located at 91 North Sandusky Street in Delaware, Ohio, roughly 15 miles north of Lewis Center. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the only document required to satisfy the course completion requirement for either submission path.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, per current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. This is not a situation you want to land in if you are already close to the deadline. Work through the lesson quizzes seriously because the final covers the same material. Lesson quizzes have unlimited free retakes, so use them to confirm you actually know the content before you sit the final exam.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Department of Public Safety mandates that at least 25 percent of the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude and at least 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The remaining content covers Ohio traffic law, crash prevention, and related topics. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets these curriculum minimums. The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. There is no live video streaming. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward the 8-hour instructional floor. When I went through it, the alcohol and drug section and the driver attitude material were the two parts that actually made me think, not just click through.
