Your California driving record, sometimes called an MVR, is a record of your driving history kept by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The DMV records tickets and accidents as well as the status of your license. Because California driving records sometimes have clerical errors on them, it's a good idea to request your MVR for your own review every now and then. However, the DMV is not the only entity with access to your California driving record. Your insurance company has access to the report, as do current and potential employers. So, it's also a good idea to request a copy of your California driving record if you plan on shopping around for insurance or getting a new job. That way, you can get any errors corrected before they cause problems.
