A Georgia driving record is a report kept by the state detailing a Georgia driver's traffic ticket and accident history. A driving record is very important to a driver for a number of reasons. First, insurance rates are loosely based off a driver's record, and the more citations on the record, the higher the insurance is. Second, if a driver has a long history of citations on their record, they can receive heavier fines and more sever punishments for future violations. Likewise, if they have a clean or fairly clean record, it can make them eligible to plea out of or down traffic violations. Third, many employers demand a driving record when considering an applicant for a job. A clean record is actually a requirement for many jobs, such as those having to do with delivery and even airport-related jobs. As such, it is important for drivers to have a copy of their record. This keeps the driver up-to-date, and affords the driver the opportunity to ensure the driving record is accurate.
