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 any coursework. This confirms you are the licensed driver completing the requirement, not someone sitting in for you. Takes a few minutes to set up and then you move straight into the first lesson.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, decision-making, and a substantial section on alcohol, drugs, and vehicle operation. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours. Your 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 you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours per Ohio's state-mandated 8-hour floor. Submit the certificate to the Greene County Clerk of Courts or the Xenia Deputy Registrar the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol-related offense, the clock is running. The license does not come back on its own. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week without that cushion is a week where one more ticket on US-35 or East Main Street can push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to complete the course before a mandatory restart kicks in.

Questions Xenia Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio adults 18 and older qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record 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. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete 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. If you are a Greene County resident unsure which category applies, the Xenia Deputy Registrar on Cincinnati Avenue can confirm your situation before you enroll.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not erase existing points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your record. That credit acts as a cushion. If you are sitting at 8 points and you earn the 2-point credit, the BMV treats your record as if it shows 6 points. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and you can earn it a maximum of five times in your lifetime. It does not apply in court-ordered cases. After you pass the final exam, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Greene County BMV Deputy Registrar to get the credit posted.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. 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 already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more time exposed to a potential suspension if another ticket lands. The practical move is to treat the enrollment date as a real deadline and map out when you will finish each section. There is no daily study cap, so you can move through the material as fast as you want within the 30 days.

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

The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF and you can download it immediately. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no separate request to file. For a 2-point credit, you submit that certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Xenia Deputy Registrar on Cincinnati Avenue handles BMV transactions for Greene County residents and is roughly a 5-minute drive from downtown Xenia. For a court-ordered case, you submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, which for most Xenia residents means the Greene County Clerk of Courts on Greene Street in Xenia. Current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 govern how the credit gets posted once the BMV receives the form.

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 Administrative Code 4501-8-06 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 completely. You start over from the beginning, which also resets your 30-day completion window. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one before advancing, so by the time you reach the final exam you have already worked through the material multiple times. Take the quizzes seriously and treat them as practice. Xenia residents who have been through this say the driver attitude and alcohol sections are the ones that show up most on the final.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Xenia, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do exist in Ohio, but finding one near Xenia in Greene County is not guaranteed. Most approved classroom sites are in larger metro areas, which means a drive to Dayton or beyond. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both formats meet the same 8-hour state minimum and produce the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers the identical ODPS-required curriculum including the driver attitude block and the alcohol and drug section. You do not give up anything by taking it online. For Greene County residents who work during the week or cannot easily get to a classroom site, the online format is the more practical choice given the 30-day window you are already working against.
