Reader’s Question:

Im looking at my MVR to review my DUI convictions and Im having a hard time understanding it. Can you tell me what’s included on the MVR?

Thank you for asking Richard.

Basically, a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) is a driving record kept by a state’s department of motor vehicles (DMV). The DMV records a person’s driving history, depending upon state laws.

Typically, an individual’s driving contains a record of moving violations and convictions, collisions (accidents), and departmental actions incurred by the motorist over a period of time. Departmental actions may include major convictions and arrest for driving related cases such as a DUI.

This information for a motor vehicle history is provided by the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) where you are licensed. Each state differ on the system of listing violations and/or coding violations. I would suggest that you contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) to get information on what specific violations on your MVR or driving history mean.

Goodluck!
