What is a Driver’s Abstract?

A driver’s abstract is a document summarizing a person’s driving history. It includes information about traffic violations, accidents, suspensions, and other pertinent details that reflect an individual’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

The driver’s abstract’s meaning extends beyond just a list of incidents. It provides a snapshot of a driver’s responsibility, adherence to laws, and overall suitability for roles requiring driving.
