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 begin. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, not a proxy. Wetherington residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver statewide.

Work Through the Course Material

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. The state requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

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 you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 PDF. Submit it to the Butler County Clerk of Courts or the BMV to close out your requirement. Total course time is 8 hours minimum.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is already running. The court requirement stays open until the certificate lands. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record sitting at 9 or 10 points can push you into suspension territory fast. The state also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Finish the course, protect your driving privileges, and get this behind you.

Questions Wetherington 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 categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Revised Code Section 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension must complete the course before the BMV restores their license. Drivers under a court order complete it because a judge required it, and no point credit applies in that situation. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit as a cushion. Drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol offense and drivers 19 or older addressing a juvenile suspension also qualify. If you are in Butler County and unsure which category applies, the Clerk of Courts office at the Butler County Government Services Center in Hamilton can clarify your court requirement before you enroll.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code Section 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your record. That credit acts as a cushion. If your record sits at 9 points and you earn the 2-point credit, the BMV treats it as 7 points for suspension threshold purposes. Existing violations and their associated points stay on your record. 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 Wetherington drivers, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Dayton BMV Deputy Registrar or the Wetherington Deputy Registrar location to apply the credit to your record.

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

The state requires a full restart. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, if you do not complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, you must pay the reinstatement fee again and begin the course from the beginning. No partial credit carries over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, that also means your license stays suspended longer. For court-ordered cases, the open requirement continues until a valid certificate reaches the court. Wetherington drivers with a Butler County court order should confirm the court's internal deadline with the Butler County Clerk of Courts in Hamilton, roughly 20 miles south of Wetherington, before enrolling to make sure the 30-day window aligns with any court-imposed date.

How fast do I get my 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. There is no waiting period and nothing gets mailed to you separately. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Wetherington residents can bring it to the Wetherington Deputy Registrar location or drive approximately 20 miles to the Hamilton BMV Deputy Registrar office in Butler County. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Butler County Clerk of Courts. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the certificate must reach the correct office before your record updates or your court case closes. Do not sit on it. Submit the same week you pass.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the state-provided 40-question final exam, but only one attempt per calendar day. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, if you fail both attempts, the course resets entirely and you start over from the beginning. The 30-day completion window also resets. The exam is multiple choice and you need a 75% to pass. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you reach the final. Wetherington drivers who are close to the 30-day deadline when they attempt the final should account for the one-per-day limit and not wait until the last possible day to take their first attempt.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Wetherington residents, and why do most people choose online?

In-person classroom options exist in Ohio but require travel to a licensed site, a fixed session date, and waiting for the certificate after the session. For Wetherington residents in Butler County, that means driving out of the area and matching your schedule to the provider's calendar. The online Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a state-approved Ohio driver training school, meets the same ODPS curriculum requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Progress saves automatically after each section. You complete it across multiple sessions within the 30-day window. Most people in Wetherington choose online because the certificate arrives the same day they finish, and there is no commute involved.
