It May Be Time To Check Your Driving Record

I advocate that it is a good idea to check your driving record once a year to make sure there are no errors or identity theft. Your driving record affects a number of areas in your life, and having even one error on your record can cause some major headaches.

Just a few of the issues you could face by not knowing about a driving record issue.

Car Insurance Rates
The number one factor to your insurance rate is your driving record. If your driving record contains one violation that should not be there you could be paying as much as DOUBLE your actual rate.

Employment
Your employer or future employer can check your driving record and they will use that information to determine who worthy you are for employment. A spotted record can be a sign of being irresponsible or even reckless! Employers won't take the risk of hiring you if you can't get to work or if you will put their insurance rates at risk.

Travel 
Just imagine boarding an airplane and being told you can't use your license as an ID for boarding...because it is suspended. Having a blemish on your driving record could cause your license to be suspended and make your ID invalid.

Points Accumulation
Some violations in Pennsylvania carry points that are used to tract a driver and assess penalties like fines and license suspension ad different point levels. The only way to find out how many points are on your license would be to request a driving record and count the points or contact PennDOT.

By spending just a few moments and $8 with PennDOT you can download your driving record to make sue there are no issue. It is easy to do and worth a yearly investment.
