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 taking the course. This identity check is a current Ohio BMV requirement before any coursework begins. The whole process takes a few minutes and your spot is locked in.

Work Through the Course Material

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

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. Pass it and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum, with a required 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate hits the BMV or the clerk's desk. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

Questions Pike County Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before another ticket pushes them toward suspension. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older completing a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a point credit. For Pike County residents, the Piketon Deputy Registrar on Main Street can confirm which category applies to your record before you enroll.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract 2 from your current point total, giving you a cushion before another ticket pushes you to 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays on your record for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. After you pass the final exam, submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Chillicothe BMV office, about 30 miles north of Piketon on US-23, to get the credit applied.

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

The state requires you to complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that deadline and two things happen: you pay a reinstatement fee and you start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your completed lessons carry forward. For drivers on a suspension, that also means your license stays suspended longer while you restart. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Pike County drivers with a court deadline should check with the Pike County Clerk of Courts in Waverly to confirm the court's own deadline lines up with the state's 30-day window before enrolling.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

You get your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the instant you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no manual review step before the certificate generates. For a 2-point credit, submit that certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office to Piketon is in Chillicothe, roughly 30 miles north on US-23. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate to the Pike County Clerk of Courts located in the Pike County Courthouse in Waverly. Current Ohio BMV requirements do not allow the provider to submit the certificate on your behalf for point credit purposes, so you handle that submission directly. Keep a copy of the PDF for your own records after submitting.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Fail it and you get one more attempt, but not until the following calendar day per current ODPS guidelines. That one-per-day rule is firm. Fail the second attempt and the entire course resets. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets as well. This is not a situation you want to land in when your license is already suspended or a court deadline is approaching. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you sit the final. Pike County drivers should factor in the reset risk when planning how close to the 30-day deadline they attempt the exam.

Does completing this 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. The course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which reduces your active point total by two. The underlying violations stay on your record. Only an Ohio court has authority to expunge or reduce points tied to specific convictions. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order, the certificate satisfies the reinstatement or compliance requirement but does not alter the violation history. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your Form 5789. The Piketon Deputy Registrar can pull your current point total so you know exactly where you stand before and after the credit posts.
