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 West Virginia (WV), a driver's driving record is maintained by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This record includes personal information such as the driver's name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as a history of traffic accidents and moving violations. Drivers in WV can request a copy of 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 penalty points from their license after completing such a course, or to potentially obtain lower insurance premiums. The process for obtaining a driving record in WV typically involves submitting a request to the DMV, which may be done online, by mail, or in person, and may require payment of a fee.
