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. South Lebanon residents use their Ohio driver license or state ID. The system confirms your identity on the spot so you can begin the first lesson immediately after enrollment.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out after a lesson and pick up exactly where you left off the next day.

Pass the Final Exam and Download Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You get two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish the 8 hours minimum, pass the exam, and BMV Form 5789 downloads instantly as a PDF. Submit it to the BMV office in Lebanon or your Warren County court the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes until the certificate lands at the BMV or the court. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a Warren County road can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get the requirement behind you.

Questions South Lebanon Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record who want a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year period 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 that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit. South Lebanon residents can confirm their specific situation at the Warren County Clerk of Courts or the Lebanon BMV before enrolling.

Does finishing the course remove points from my Ohio record?

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a driving record. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future points. If your record shows 8 points and you earn the credit, the BMV treats your standing as 6 points for suspension threshold purposes. Existing violations and their points stay on the record. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. For South Lebanon drivers sitting close to 12 points, banking that credit before the next ticket on US-22 or SR-123 is the practical move. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Lebanon BMV after you pass.

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

Ohio requires full completion within 30 days of enrollment, per 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 reinstating a suspended license, the suspension stays active until the certificate reaches the BMV, so a missed window means more time without driving privileges. For 2-point credit cases, the clock keeps running on your point total while you wait to restart. South Lebanon residents who enroll and then get busy should log in for at least one lesson every few days to stay on track and avoid the restart penalty.

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

BMV Form 5789 generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue. Download it immediately and submit it the same day. For 2-point credit cases, take the PDF to the Lebanon BMV office on North Broadway, which is the nearest full-service BMV location for South Lebanon residents, roughly 8 miles north on SR-48. For court-ordered cases, deliver or mail the certificate to the Warren County Clerk of Courts at 500 Justice Drive in Lebanon. Current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 require the certificate on file before the BMV applies the credit or lifts the suspension.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, but only 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 resets from that point. All lesson quiz retakes are free and unlimited, so use those to review the material before you sit for the final. The driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug content make up at least half the exam questions, so pay attention to those lessons. South Lebanon drivers who review the lesson quizzes before the final tend to clear it on the first attempt.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs a minimum of 8 hours of instruction time, as mandated by the Ohio Department of Public Safety. Per ODPS curriculum requirements, at least 25 percent of the course covers driver attitude, including how habits and decision-making behind the wheel contribute to crashes. At least another 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and their effect on vehicle operation. The rest covers Ohio traffic law, hazard recognition, and defensive driving. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward the 8-hour minimum. Lessons use text and images with quizzes between sections. South Lebanon drivers who took this course said the alcohol impairment section and the attitude material were the parts that actually made them think.
