What is the difference between a Drivers Licence Abstract and a Commercial Vehicle Driver Record?
There are two types of driver information available to the public. A Driver Licence Abstract contains events involving or directly related to the driver while driving any vehicle on a highway. A Commercial Vehicle Driver Record captures accidents, convictions and inspections involving the driver while operating commercial motor vehicles only (vehicles registered or weighing in excess of 4,500 kgs.). The events noted on a Commercial Vehicle Driver Record remain for five (5) years to coincide with the relevant Operator’s Level 2 (Carrier) Abstract.
