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. Miami County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. The state requires identity verification before coursework begins, and your progress saves automatically after each section.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs on text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. 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, and your place is saved server-side. No daily study cap exists, so you can push through as much as you want in a single sitting.

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 you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and you immediately receive BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the BMV in Piqua or to the Miami County Clerk of Courts, depending on your situation.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket could push the record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and the state requires a reinstatement fee and a full restart from the beginning.

Approved for Every Ohio Remedial Driving Situation

Questions West Milton 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 a 2-point credit?

Ohio recognizes five situations under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06: drivers seeking a 2-point credit with 2 to 11 points on record, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers with a court order to complete the remedial program, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC suspension. The key difference is that a court-ordered completion does not generate a 2-point credit. The court tells you to finish the course, you finish it, and you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Miami County Clerk of Courts on South Main Street in Troy to satisfy the requirement.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract two points from your current total under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension. A driver sitting at 9 points drops to 7 after the credit, which means one more moderate violation does not immediately end driving privileges. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. After passing the final exam, you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Piqua BMV Deputy Registrar to apply the credit.

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

Ohio requires full completion of the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per current ODPS guidelines under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that deadline 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 in a suspension reinstatement situation, that also means your license stays suspended longer. The practical move is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and treat the 30-day mark as a hard deadline, not a suggestion. Miami County residents can confirm reinstatement requirements with the Piqua BMV office, located roughly 10 miles from West Milton on North Main Street.

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

Pass the 40-question final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates immediately as a downloadable digital PDF. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. Where you send it depends on your situation. Drivers applying for a 2-point credit or reinstating after a 12-point suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office for West Milton residents is in Piqua, approximately 10 miles north on State Route 25A. Drivers completing a court-ordered program submit the certificate to the Miami County Clerk of Courts in Troy, about 14 miles from West Milton. Confirm the exact submission method with the court or BMV before you enroll so you know exactly where BMV Form 5789 needs to go.

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. Ohio allows 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 under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion clock becomes a real concern at that point. Lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and do not count against you. Take those seriously because the material they cover shows up on the final. West Milton drivers who hit the two-failure reset should re-enroll promptly to avoid losing more time inside the 30-day window.

Does finishing the 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. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points from a driving record. What the course does, for drivers taking it for the 2-point credit reason, is apply a two-point reduction to your current point total. That reduction creates breathing room before the next ticket triggers a suspension. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the requirement that keeps your license suspended or your court case open, but the underlying points and violations remain on record. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Piqua BMV office or the Miami County Clerk of Courts in Troy depending on your specific situation.
