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 completing the course. This identity verification step is required under current Ohio BMV requirements before any coursework begins. Takes about five minutes to get through.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and related topics. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours. Progress saves automatically after every section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it, and your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion downloads instantly as a PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling a Preble County court order, the clock is running right now. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay the reinstatement fee again and start over from scratch. For drivers banking the 2-point credit, one more ticket without that cushion in place can push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Getting enrolled today closes that gap.

Questions West Alexandria 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 on their record who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over 12. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within a two-year period under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a Preble County court or any Ohio court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. The course is for licensed adults 18 and older only - not a teen driver education program. Check your BMV record or court paperwork to confirm which category applies to you before enrolling.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove existing points from your record. Only an Ohio court can order point removal. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit to your record under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. That credit acts as a cushion - if your record sits at 10 points, the credit brings the effective total down to 8, giving you more room before a suspension triggers at 12. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and a maximum of five times in a lifetime. For court-ordered completions, no 2-point credit applies - the course satisfies the court requirement only. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the West Alexandria Deputy Registrar or directly to the BMV after passing.

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

The state's 30-day completion window is set under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss it and your enrollment expires. You do not get credit for the hours already completed. You pay the course fee again, re-enroll, and start from the beginning. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, the suspension stays active the entire time the course sits incomplete, and missing the window extends that period further. For drivers chasing the 2-point credit, an expired enrollment means you are still sitting at your current point total with no cushion. The practical move is to start the first session within a day or two of enrolling and work through it steadily rather than waiting until the last week. The course saves your progress automatically after every section.

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

The certificate - BMV Form 5789 - generates as a downloadable PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and nothing gets mailed to you. You download it immediately. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. West Alexandria residents can bring it to the West Alexandria Deputy Registrar on US Route 35 or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Preble County Clerk of Courts in Eaton, roughly 12 miles from West Alexandria. Confirm the submission method with your attorney or the court if you have a pending hearing date. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, BMV Form 5789 is the only accepted certificate format.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, you get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the entire course resets - you start over from lesson one and must complete all 8 hours of instruction again before another exam attempt. The lesson quizzes that appear throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and do not count against you. The final exam is the only high-stakes checkpoint. Read through the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug material carefully before attempting the exam - those two topics make up at least half the curriculum by state requirement.

Is an in-person classroom option still available near West Alexandria, and how does it compare?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do still exist in Ohio, but none operate in West Alexandria itself. The closest options for Preble County residents typically require a drive to Eaton or a larger city, roughly 12 or more miles each way, on a fixed provider schedule. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both formats must meet the same 8-hour minimum and curriculum requirements, so the certificate you get is identical. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers the same state-mandated material, saves progress automatically, and produces BMV Form 5789 the same day you pass. For most West Alexandria drivers juggling work schedules, the online format is the more practical path to getting the requirement handled.
