A driver’s driving record is information maintained in a database controlled by a state’s department of public safety, department of motor vehicles, or similar department or agency. The driver’s driving record generally includes the driver’s name, date of birth, address, license status, list of all accidents, and list of all moving violations on record.

A driver may want to request their driving record to prove to a court the driver is eligible for a driving safety or defensive driving course; to confirm that penalty points on a driver’s license have been removed after completing a driving safety or defensive driving course; or to persuade an insurance company to give the driver a better rate on insurance premiums.

In Colorado, a driver's driving record, also known as a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), is maintained by the Colorado Department of Revenue through the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This record includes the driver's personal information such as name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as their driving history, which encompasses all reported accidents, traffic violations, and points against their license. Drivers in Colorado can request a copy of their driving record for various reasons, including to provide evidence of eligibility for a driving safety or defensive driving course, to verify the removal of points from their license after course completion, or to negotiate better insurance rates. The process for obtaining a driving record in Colorado can typically be done online, by mail, or in person at a DMV office. It's important for drivers to periodically review their driving record to ensure accuracy and to understand how their driving history may affect their driving privileges and insurance premiums.
