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 to confirm you are the licensed driver completing the course. Preble County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver - takes a few minutes to set up and your progress saves automatically after each section.

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 with quizzes between sections. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. No daily study cap exists, so you can move as fast as your schedule allows within the 30-day window.

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. Pass, and you immediately download BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF. The course meets the 8 hours state-mandated minimum. Submit the certificate to the Preble County Clerk of Courts or the Eaton BMV Deputy Registrar depending on your situation.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the right office. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push you into a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Enroll now, protect your driving privileges, and get this behind you.

Questions New Paris Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket causes a problem. 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 - no point credit applies in that case. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Preble County residents can enroll through TrafficSchool.net for any of these five situations.

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

No. The course does not erase points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your record. That credit acts as a cushion - if your record sits at 10 points and you earn the 2-point credit, you are effectively at 8 before the next ticket lands. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Court-ordered completions do not generate a point credit at all. After finishing, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Eaton BMV Deputy Registrar to have the credit applied to your Preble County record.

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

Ohio requires you to complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per current ODPS guidelines 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 in a suspension situation, that also means your license stays suspended longer. For drivers chasing the 2-point credit, the clock resets entirely. The practical move for New Paris residents is to enroll only when you have a realistic 30-day stretch to finish, and then treat the deadline seriously from day one.

How fast do I get my 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, take that certificate to the New Paris Deputy Registrar or the Eaton BMV office, located roughly 20 miles east of New Paris on US-35, and submit it there. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate directly to the Preble County Clerk of Courts in Eaton. Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 governs how the BMV processes the credit once they receive the form. Getting the certificate submitted the same week you pass is the fastest way to close out the requirement and move on.

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 limits you to two attempts, and you can only take one attempt per calendar day. 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 window restarts. That is not a situation you want to be in, especially if you are already close to the deadline. Work through the lesson quizzes seriously before hitting the final. The quizzes have unlimited free retakes and cover the same material the final tests.

Is an in-person classroom option still available near New Paris, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do still exist in Ohio, but none operate in New Paris itself. Preble County residents would need to drive to an approved site, typically in the Dayton metro area or Eaton, adding roughly 40 miles of round-trip driving on top of a full 8-hour day. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both formats satisfy the same state requirement and produce the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. The online course through TrafficSchool.net covers the identical curriculum - driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, traffic safety - with the same mandatory 10-minute breaks after every two hours. For most New Paris drivers, the online format is the more practical call.
