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 Georgia, a driver's driving record, also known as a Motor Vehicle Report (MVR), is maintained by the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS). This record includes the driver's personal information such as name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as a history of traffic accidents, moving violations, and points against the driver's license. Drivers in Georgia can request 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 potentially obtain lower insurance premiums. The DDS offers different types of MVRs, and individuals can request their own driving record online, by mail, or in person at a DDS Customer Service Center. It's important to note that there may be fees associated with obtaining a driving record, and the process and types of records available can change, so it's advisable to check the latest information from the Georgia DDS.
