Driving history refers to a record of an individual's driving behavior and experiences over time. This includes information such as traffic violations, accidents, and any licenses held. It is often used by insurance companies and employers to assess a person's reliability and safety as a driver. A driving history report can be obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or similar agencies. This report helps in determining insurance rates and can influence job opportunities, especially for positions that require driving. Maintaining a clean driving history is important for both personal safety and financial reasons.
