Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. This identity verification step is required under current Ohio BMV requirements before any coursework begins. New Lebanon residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio county.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic safety through text and image-based interactive lessons. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required hours.

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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate generates instantly. The total course runs 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the BMV or your court the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order, the clock is running right now. Your driving privileges stay on hold until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is complete and the certificate is submitted. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also requires you to finish within 30 days of enrollment or the state mandates a reinstatement fee and a full restart.

Questions New Lebanon 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 groups of Ohio drivers take this course 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 ordered by a Montgomery County court or any Ohio court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit. The practical next step is confirming which category applies to you before enrolling at TrafficSchool.net.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract two points from your current total, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. A driver sitting at 10 points drops to 8 after the credit posts. The credit stays valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. After you pass the course, you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV, which can be reached from New Lebanon via the Dayton BMV office roughly 15 miles east on US-35. The credit posts to your record after the BMV processes the certificate.

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

Ohio requires completion of the Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. 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 suspended license, that also means your driving privileges stay suspended even longer. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every day past the deadline is another day a ticket could push the record over 12 points. The practical move is to enroll at TrafficSchool.net only when you have a realistic 30-day stretch to finish, and to treat the deadline as a hard stop, not a suggestion.

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

Pass the final exam and your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates as an instant digital PDF. You do not wait for anything to arrive in the mail. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The nearest BMV serving New Lebanon residents is the Dayton BMV, approximately 15 miles east on US-35. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, which for most New Lebanon residents means the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV requires the original BMV Form 5789 from a state-approved provider. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, issues that exact form upon passing.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to two attempts, and you can only take one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday, your second attempt is available Tuesday at the earliest. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. There is no partial credit for progress already completed. 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. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net and treat the lesson quizzes as real preparation, not a formality.

Does finishing the 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. That distinction matters. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces the active point total by two. A driver at 9 points becomes a driver at 7 points after the credit posts. Existing violations stay on the record. The credit creates breathing room before the 12-point suspension threshold, not a clean slate. For New Lebanon drivers with a court-ordered completion, no credit applies at all. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts or the Ohio BMV depending on your specific situation after passing.
