Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID to confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. This identity verification step is required under current ODPS guidelines before any coursework begins. Moraine residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver statewide.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The course runs through text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. Progress saves automatically on the server after every section, so you can log out and pick back up later. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

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 have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates instantly. The course meets the 8 hours state-mandated minimum required under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or clearing a court order, nothing moves until the certificate hits the BMV or the clerk's desk. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week without that cushion is a week where one more ticket on US-35 or Dryden Road can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment - miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

State-Recognized Course, Real Certificate

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is authorized under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is a state-approved Ohio driver training school. The certificate you receive is BMV Form 5789 - the actual document the Montgomery County BMV and courts accept.

Questions Moraine Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their Ohio record who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over. 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 - no 2-point credit applies in that case. 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. Moraine residents can confirm their specific situation with the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts or the Dayton BMV on Needmore Road before enrolling.

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

No. The course does not erase existing points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can order point removal. 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 that reduces your effective point total by two. A driver sitting at 9 points drops to an effective 7 after the credit posts. That gap matters when one more ticket would otherwise trigger a 12-point suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Dayton BMV on Needmore Road to get the credit posted.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning - none of your prior progress counts. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay extends the time your driving privileges stay on hold. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more weeks of exposure before the cushion is in place. The practical move is to map out your schedule before you enroll and make sure you can realistically finish within the window. Moraine drivers who work rotating shifts at area manufacturers have used the auto-save feature to chip away at it across multiple short sessions.

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

The certificate generates as an instant digital PDF - BMV Form 5789 - the moment you pass the final exam. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest BMV office serving Moraine residents is the Dayton BMV on Needmore Road, roughly 10 minutes north of Moraine. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the court that issued the order - typically the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts located in downtown Dayton. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV will not post the credit until it receives the physical or submitted Form 5789, so do not sit on the certificate after you earn it.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 allows two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day - so if you fail on a Tuesday, your second try cannot happen until Wednesday at the earliest. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from the first lesson, and the 30-day completion window becomes a real concern at that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and are worth using to actually learn the material before you hit the final. Treat the quizzes seriously and the final exam is manageable. Moraine drivers who rushed through the quizzes were the ones who called back frustrated about the reset.

Is an in-person classroom still an option in Moraine, and is online more practical?

In-person classroom options for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course exist in the broader Dayton metro area, but there is no dedicated classroom provider sitting in Moraine itself. Montgomery County residents typically have to drive into Dayton or further, block out a full day, and then wait for the certificate to be processed before they can submit it to the BMV or court. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both delivery formats meet the state requirement equally - the certificate you receive is the same BMV Form 5789 either way. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, cuts out the commute and delivers the certificate instantly on the day you pass. For most working adults in Moraine, that time difference is the deciding factor.
