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 Florida, a driver's driving record, also known as a driving history or motor vehicle record (MVR), is maintained by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). This record includes the driver's personal information such as name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as a comprehensive list of all accidents and moving violations. Drivers in Florida can request their driving records 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 premium rates. Florida law allows drivers to obtain their records online, by mail, or in person at a local FLHSMV office. There are different types of driving records available, ranging from a 3-year to a complete driving history, and fees apply for obtaining these records. It's important for drivers to ensure their records are accurate and up-to-date, as inaccuracies can affect their driving privileges and insurance rates.
