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 South Carolina, a driver's driving record, also known as a driving history report, is maintained by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV). 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 South Carolina 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 penalty points after course completion, or to negotiate better insurance premium rates. The SCDMV offers different types of driving records, and drivers can request their records online, by mail, or in person at a SCDMV office. It's important to note that there may be fees associated with obtaining a driving record, and the driver must provide proper identification to access their personal driving history.
