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 Hawaii, a driver's driving record is maintained by the Hawaii Department of Transportation through its Driver's License Section. This record, often referred to as a driver history record, includes personal information such as the driver's name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as a comprehensive list of any accidents and moving violations the driver has incurred. Drivers in Hawaii may request a copy of their driving record for various reasons, including providing proof of eligibility for a driving safety or defensive driving course to a court, verifying the removal of penalty points from their license after completing such a course, or negotiating better insurance premium rates. The process for obtaining a driving record typically involves submitting a request form and paying a fee. It's important for drivers to periodically review their driving records to ensure accuracy and to understand how their driving history may impact their driving privileges and insurance costs.
