A driving record is a comprehensive document that contains detailed information about a driver's driving history. It includes information such as:
* Personal details: name, address, date of birth, and driver's license number.
* Driving history: dates of license issuance, license status (valid, suspended, or revoked), and any traffic violations or convictions.
* Traffic accidents: details of any accidents the driver has been involved in, including dates, locations, and descriptions.
* Demerit points: a record of any demerit points accumulated due to traffic violations.
A driving record provides a complete overview of a driver's history on the road and is often used by insurance companies, employers, or government agencies to assess driving behavior and eligibility for certain purposes.
Driving Abstract:
A driving abstract is a shortened version of a driving record that typically includes only certain key information. It usually contains the driver's personal information, license details, and a summary of traffic convictions. Unlike a full driving record, an abstract typically excludes personal information such as addresses and phone numbers, as well as any accidents that did not result in a traffic violation.
Driving abstracts are often requested for employment or insurance purposes, as they provide a concise overview of a driver's history without disclosing sensitive personal information. However, some states may have specific rules or variations regarding the content and availability of driving abstracts, so it's essential to consult local regulations to understand the exact information included in an abstract.
