A Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) is an encapsulation of a person's
driving history. It is kept by each state's Department of Motor
Vehicles and contains all the information that is pertinent to a
driver. Although states may differ, a Motor Vehicle Report will
contain minimally:
-
The
license class of the driver (Class M: motorcycles, Class C:
vehicles weighing less than 26,000 pounds, etc);
-
Any
driving restrictions (Restriction A: must wear corrective eye
lenses, Restriction X: must adhere to assigned driving
instructions given, etc);
-
Any driver
education programs that have been completed;
-
Any
violations incurred (from minor citations like running a red
light, to more serious offences like leaving the scene of an
accident or Driving Under the Influence);
-
The date
of issuance of the driver's license, and when it expires.
-
Whether
points have been deducted from the driving record;
-
Other,
more standard information (ie: not related to driving) like
current address, date of birth, and social security number.
What is the
purpose of the MVR?
MVRs are not so much the benefit of the driver, more-so for the
benefit of companies and/or employers. Most companies, as a
matter of course, will review an applicant or employee's MVR if,
for example, they will be required to operate company vehicles.
By reviewing an MVR, employers can confirm that each applicant
or employee's drivers license is in fact valid, and that they
are legally licensed to operate a motor vehicle. For insurance
purposes, it's in a company's best interest to always request an
MVR check of any potential employee.
