Reasons Why You Should Check Your Ontario Driving Record

TORONTO, ONTARIO, MARCH 18, 2019 - Ontario drivers can conveniently access their driving abstract from the provincial government. These reports contain information relevant to Ontario residents who expect that their driving record will be scrutinized when they apply for work that requires a lot of driving, or when they're searching for the cheapest car insurance.

Anne Marie Thomas of InsuranceHotline.com likes to see drivers take advantage of the service. "We encourage drivers to seize the opportunity to review their driving records before they go shopping for insurance coverage", she says. "It helps them keep track of their driving status and points, and that are helpful when you're in the market for insurance".
