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. Takes a few minutes to set up. Once confirmed, your enrollment clock starts and you have 30 days to complete the course under current ODPS guidelines.

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. Progress saves automatically after each section.

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 it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law. Submit the certificate to the Perry County Deputy Registrar or your court.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock on your driving privileges does not restart until the BMV receives your certificate. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week you wait is another ticket away from crossing 12 points and triggering a suspension. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now, protect your ability to drive the roads in and around Perry County.

Questions Perry County Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take this course, and what is the difference between a court order and a 2-point credit?

Five groups qualify under Ohio law. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can enroll voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Drivers who hit 12 or more points within two years get suspended under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and must complete the course to reinstate. Courts can also order the course as a condition of a case, and in that situation no 2-point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension and drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related offense round out the five recognized reasons under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Perry County residents should confirm which category applies before enrolling so the certificate goes to the right place.

The 2-point credit sounds useful, but what does it actually do to my record?

The credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the 2-point credit does under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 is apply a two-point reduction to your current point total, which creates a cushion before the next ticket could push you to 12 and trigger a suspension. The credit stays active for three years from the date the BMV applies it. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in a lifetime. After you pass the course, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Perry County Deputy Registrar at 117 East Brown Street in New Lexington, or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus.

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

Ohio requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under current ODPS guidelines tied to 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 whose license is already suspended, that means more time off the road. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more exposure to a suspension if a ticket comes in during the gap. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Perry County residents driving routes like US-33 daily cannot afford to let that window slip.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. No waiting for mail. No processing delay. You can download and submit it the same day. For a 2-point credit, take or send the certificate to the Perry County Deputy Registrar located at 117 East Brown Street in New Lexington, or submit it directly to the Ohio BMV. For a court-ordered case, deliver it to the Perry County Clerk of Courts at the Perry County Courthouse, also in New Lexington, or to whichever court issued the order. Confirm submission requirements with your specific court since Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 governs the course but individual courts set their own filing procedures.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, so if you fail on a Monday you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely under current Ohio BMV requirements. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window becomes a real concern at that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and must be passed before you can advance, so treat those as your preparation for the final rather than a formality. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the certificate is only valid when issued after a legitimate passing score, so there is no shortcut around the exam requirement for Perry County drivers.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Perry County residents, and why do most people choose online?

In-person classroom sessions do exist in Ohio, but none operate in New Lexington or Perry County itself as of the latest ODPS guidelines. The nearest options require driving to Columbus or another larger city, which adds travel time on top of the full 8-hour session. 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, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers identical curriculum including the required driver attitude content and the alcohol and drug sections, with no commute involved. For most Perry County drivers already managing work schedules and family obligations, completing the course from home without blocking an entire day is the practical choice.
