Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account at TrafficSchool.net and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires identity verification before any instruction begins. Takes a few minutes to confirm and you are cleared to start the actual course material.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, 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 on your lunch break near the I-75 corridor and pick up 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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and the BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum, with a required 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is already running. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on US-40 through Tipp City could push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Starting this week keeps your options open and your driving privileges protected.

Questions Tipp City Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 covers both situations but they work differently. A court order means a judge required the course as part of a sentence or diversion agreement, and completing it satisfies that legal obligation. No 2-point credit applies in that case. The 2-point credit is voluntary: any licensed Ohio driver with 2 to 11 points can take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course to bank a 2-point reduction as a cushion against future tickets. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, an under-21 alcohol offense, or a juvenile suspension also use this course. Your next step is confirming which category applies before enrolling at TrafficSchool.net.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my driving 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. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit that acts as a buffer, reducing the effective point total the BMV counts toward a 12-point suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. For a Tipp City driver sitting at 8 or 9 points, that cushion can be the difference between keeping your license and facing a suspension after the next ticket. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Tipp City Deputy Registrar or the Troy BMV office to apply the credit.

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

The Ohio Department of Public Safety requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state invalidates your enrollment. For suspension reinstatement cases, that means paying the reinstatement fee again and restarting the full course from the beginning. For 2-point credit cases, the clock on your point total keeps running while you are not enrolled. The 30-day window does not pause for weekends, holidays, or work schedules. Tipp City drivers who enroll and then let the course sit idle for two weeks are the ones who end up restarting. Log in consistently from day one and pace the 8-hour minimum across the first two weeks to stay well inside the deadline.

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

The BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. No waiting, no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. Tipp City residents can use the Tipp City Deputy Registrar at 715 West Main Street or drive about 10 miles south to the Troy BMV office on the south side of Troy in Miami County. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the Miami County Clerk of Courts at 201 West Main Street in Troy. Keep a digital copy for your own records. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the credit does not apply until the BMV processes the submitted certificate.

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 entirely: you start over from lesson one and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material rather than clicking through. Drivers who treat the quizzes as a speed bump and then rush the final are the ones who end up restarting. Take the practice seriously and the final is manageable. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net when you are ready to commit to finishing.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Tipp City, and is the online course accepted the same way?

In-person remedial driving classrooms are rare in Miami County, and Tipp City has no active in-person provider for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course as of the latest ODPS guidelines. Drivers who want a classroom session would need to travel to the Dayton area, roughly 25 miles south on I-75. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is a state-approved Ohio driver training school and produces the same BMV Form 5789 certificate that the BMV and Miami County courts accept. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 governs both formats equally. For most Tipp City drivers, the online option is the practical choice given the lack of a local classroom and the fixed scheduling that in-person sessions require.
