What Steps Can I Take to Correct Inaccurate Motor Vehicle Accident Data on My Record?

If you find that your motor vehicle record contains accident entries in which you were not at fault, you have a few options to address these errors. North Carolina law allows you to request corrections through the administrative channels provided by the DMV. Begin by obtaining a certified copy of your driving record so that you can verify all the details. Even if you’re in a county like Mecklenburg County, do check with your local county DMV regarding specific procedures. Consider taking the following actions:

• Obtain and review your driving record from the North Carolina DMV.
• Collect supporting documents such as crash reports, police reports, and witness statements that detail you were not at fault.
• Submit a formal request for correction or dispute the erroneous entries. Reference applicable North Carolina statutory provisions by consulting resources on ncleg.gov.
• Follow up with the DMV and document every communication.

These steps provide a structured method to resolve inaccuracies that could affect your employment and professional reputation.

How Does North Carolina Law Protect Drivers from Unfairly Penalizing Accident Records?

North Carolina provides procedures to ensure your motor vehicle record accurately reflects your driving history. When an unverified accident is recorded against your CDL, it can influence employment and insurance rates. The state’s administrative rules require that such entries be supported by official documentation. In counties like Guilford County, for instance, drivers can request a review and correction if they can prove that an accident was erroneously recorded or if fault was misassigned. Drivers can protect themselves by doing the following:

• Obtain a certified driving record from the DMV.
• Collect all relevant documentation, including crash and police reports.
• Submit a correction request supported by your documentation, referring to the procedures outlined in the North Carolina General Statutes available at ncleg.gov.
• Consult with an attorney to ensure you use the correct process and paperwork.

Taking prompt action is vital for ensuring that your driving record reflects true and fair results.

• Obtain a complete and certified copy of your driving record from the DMV.
• Gather any available evidence that clearly establishes you were not at fault in the reported accidents.
