Points

I new to my state and just received a new drivers license, turning in my old one. I am going to get insurance in my new state and would like to receive a good driver discount. I do not know my old drivers license numbers…I have lived in 3 states over 5 years. Will they be able to see my full driving record with my new license number or do I need to request an abstract from the prior two states?

No, you’re driving record is not carried over from state to state because when they issue points, it relates to a certain jurisdiction and will not be relevant to out of state citations. BUT, if something is fishy, or the cop is trying to dig up dirt on you, he can easily find out what state you were living in previously and call them or use their onboard computer to request any background information from other state police. But for them to search outside of their own state records is not typical protocol unless you piss him off
