Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account on TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a state approved Ohio driver training school. Upload a valid government-issued photo ID to confirm your identity, as required under current Ohio BMV requirements. Auglaize County residents enroll the same way as anyone else in Ohio - no in-person visit needed to get started.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours. Log out, come back later - your place holds.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and get two attempts, one per calendar day. Fail both and the course resets entirely. Pass, and you receive your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a digital PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum per state mandate.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

A 12-point suspension keeps your Auglaize County driving privileges locked until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is finished and the certificate hits the BMV. A court order stays open the same way. Even for the 2-point credit, every day without that cushion is a day one more ticket could push your record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The 30-day completion window does not pause.

Questions Saint Marys 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 the 2-point credit?

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines: drivers with 2 to 11 points seeking a 2-point credit, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers under a court order, drivers 19 or older with a pre-18 juvenile suspension, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC suspension. Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 governs the point system behind the first two categories. A court order is different - the court mandates the course and no 2-point credit applies to that case. If you are in Auglaize County and unsure which category fits, the Saint Marys Deputy Registrar on West Spring Street can confirm your current point total and suspension status before you enroll.

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

The 2-point credit reduces your active point total by two points, creating a cushion before the next violation pushes you into a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. It does not erase existing violations from your record and it does not remove the underlying tickets. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a record. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five uses. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the credit applies only when you take the course voluntarily with 2 to 11 points. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Auglaize County Deputy Registrar or directly to the Ohio BMV to apply the credit.

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

The state requires a full restart. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window is a hard requirement. Letting it expire means you pay the enrollment fee again and begin the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course from the first lesson. For drivers reinstating a 12-point suspension, the license stays suspended the entire time the course remains incomplete. For court-ordered cases, the open requirement stays on the record. There is no extension process built into the state rules. Saint Marys drivers who work irregular hours should note there is no daily study cap - you can log multiple sessions in a single day to stay well inside the 30-day window and avoid starting over.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam - no waiting, no mail delay. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV or drop it off at the Saint Marys Deputy Registrar on West Spring Street in Auglaize County. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the court that issued the order - Auglaize County Common Pleas or the Saint Marys Municipal Court depending on your case. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the official document the BMV and courts require. Keep a copy for your own records. The Lima BMV branch, roughly 30 miles from Saint Marys, also accepts the certificate for reinstatement processing.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, one per calendar day, per current Ohio BMV requirements for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the entire course resets - you start over from lesson one and the 30-day window restarts from that point. The final exam is 40 state-provided multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets the exam structure. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to stay sharp on the material before you attempt the final. Do not rush into the exam if you are not ready.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit to your active point total - it does not remove existing violations or wipe tickets from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points from a driving record. The credit works as a buffer: if you have 9 points and apply the credit, your active total drops to 7, giving you more room before hitting the 12-point suspension threshold. For court-ordered completions, no credit applies at all - the course satisfies the court requirement only. Auglaize County drivers can verify their current point total at the Saint Marys Deputy Registrar before and after submitting the certificate to confirm the credit posted correctly.
