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 ODPS guidelines before any coursework begins. Northridge residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver statewide.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and general traffic safety through text and image-based interactive lessons. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to move forward. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you log back in exactly where you left off.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Clear it, and your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates instantly as a PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum, with mandatory 10-minute breaks built in after every two consecutive hours.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol-related offense, the clock is already running. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record sitting at 9 or 10 points can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Starting now protects your driving privileges and keeps Montgomery County roads accessible to you.

Questions Northridge 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 taking it for a point credit?

Five categories of Ohio drivers qualify under 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 causes a problem. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points 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 from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension. The key difference: a court-ordered completion does not generate a 2-point credit. The credit only applies to voluntary enrollment for point-reduction purposes. Northridge drivers should confirm their specific reason with the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts or the Dayton BMV before enrolling.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my driving record, and how often can I use it?

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 apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, giving you a cushion before the next ticket pushes you toward a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays valid for three years from the date the BMV posts it. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times across your lifetime as a licensed Ohio driver. After you pass the course, you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Dayton BMV on North Gettysburg Avenue, which serves Northridge residents, and the BMV applies the credit to your record.

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, per current ODPS guidelines under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state treats the enrollment as expired. For suspension reinstatement cases, that means paying the reinstatement fee again and starting the course completely over from the beginning. For 2-point credit cases, the enrollment simply lapses and you lose whatever progress you made. There is no extension process. The practical move for Northridge drivers is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and log consistent sessions rather than waiting until the final week. Your progress saves automatically, so there is no reason to rush through it all at once.

How fast do I get my 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 Northridge residents is the Dayton BMV Deputy Registrar on North Gettysburg Avenue, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from the Northridge area depending on traffic on State Route 48. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts at 301 West Third Street in Dayton. Confirm the submission method, whether in person, fax, or email, with the court before you show up, as current BMV requirements and court procedures can vary.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is 40 multiple-choice questions. Per current ODPS guidelines under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from the beginning, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. 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. Northridge drivers who reset should re-enroll promptly to protect their remaining time.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points through a court order. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit to the current point total, which lowers the number the BMV counts toward a 12-point suspension. Think of it as a buffer, not a clean slate. The underlying violations stay on the record. For Northridge drivers sitting at 8 or 9 points, that 2-point credit can be the difference between keeping your license and losing it after the next ticket. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Dayton BMV on North Gettysburg Avenue to get the credit posted.
