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 Kansas, a driver's driving record is maintained by the Kansas Department of Revenue, Division of Vehicles. This record, also known as a motor vehicle record (MVR), 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 other driving-related incidents. Drivers in Kansas can request a copy of their driving record for various reasons, including providing proof of eligibility for a driving safety or defensive driving course, verifying the removal of penalty points from their license after course completion, or to negotiate 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 address any issues that may affect their driving privileges or insurance rates.
