Why employers request a driver abstract
Driving can be a central job duty or an occasional responsibility. Employers may use a driver abstract when assessing roles involving a company vehicle, deliveries, transporting clients, field visits, commercial operations or regular travel.
What an employer may review
The 3-year record can include current licence status and class, restrictions, demerit points, and selected convictions, suspensions and reinstatements from the previous three years. It gives a recent snapshot rather than a complete lifetime history.
