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 Kentucky, a driver's driving record, also known as a driving history report, is maintained by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Division of Driver Licensing. 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 Kentucky may request 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 negotiating better insurance premium rates. The process for obtaining a driving record in Kentucky typically involves submitting a request form and paying a fee. The record can be requested in person, by mail, or possibly online, depending on the current services offered by the state.
