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 Ohio driver completing the course, not someone doing it on your behalf. Takes a few minutes to set up.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, 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 without losing ground.

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 you have two attempts, one per calendar day. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours as required by ODPS. Pass and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For suspension and court cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish could push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state's 30-day completion window does not pause. Start now, finish inside the window, and get your driving privileges back on solid ground.

Questions New London Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record before the next ticket pushes them toward a suspension. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older dealing with a juvenile suspension that happened before they turned 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. If you are in one of those five groups, this is the course. Check your BMV record or your court paperwork to confirm which situation applies to you, then enroll.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your driving record. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. That credit acts as a cushion. If your record sits at 8 points and you earn the 2-point credit, the BMV treats it as 6 points for suspension threshold purposes. The original violations and their points stay on your record. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and you can earn it a maximum of five times in your lifetime. For court-ordered completions, no credit applies at all. The practical next step for New London drivers is to pull your current BMV abstract at the New London Deputy Registrar before enrolling so you know exactly where your point total stands.

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

The state does not extend the window. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, if you do not complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, 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 on a 12-point suspension or under a court order, that also means your license stays suspended and your court requirement stays open longer. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. New London drivers who are also managing a Huron County court case should coordinate their enrollment date with any court deadlines to make sure the certificate reaches the Huron County Clerk of Courts at 2 East Main Street in Norwalk before the court's due date.

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

The certificate generates instantly. Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 downloads as a digital PDF right then. You do not wait for anything to arrive in the mail. Where you send it depends on your situation. Drivers completing the course for a 2-point credit or to reinstate after a 12-point suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office to New London is the Norwalk BMV Deputy Registrar, roughly 20 miles south on US-250. Drivers completing the course under a court order submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, typically the Huron County Clerk of Courts at 2 East Main Street in Norwalk. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the credit after receiving Form 5789. Submit it the same week you pass.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the state-provided 40-question final exam, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. That is an ODPS rule built into the course structure under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets as well. The passing score is 75%. The exam is multiple choice and covers the same material from the lessons, so the drivers who do best are the ones who actually work through the lesson quizzes instead of clicking through them. Lesson quizzes have unlimited free retakes, so use them. New London drivers who are close to their 30-day deadline when they hit the first failed attempt should factor in that one-per-day rule before assuming they have time to recover.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs a minimum of 8 hours as mandated by ODPS. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, at least 25 percent of that time covers driver attitude, meaning how your mindset and decision-making behind the wheel contribute to crashes and violations. At least another 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The rest covers Ohio traffic law, hazard recognition, and related material. The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. There is no live video streaming. The state also requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your 8 hours. When I went through this material, the alcohol and drug section hit harder than I expected. It is not filler. Plan your sessions around the break requirement so you are not rushing at the end.
