The employer must get the candidate's written authorization to request their MVR and other records,as well as,provide the candidate with written notice of your intention to do so. The employer must also inform the candidate of the possible consequences of having an unfavorable MVR. 4. For drivers who have been involved in a preventable accident,Motor Vehicle Records should be reviewed at a minimum of every six(6)months: 5. Drivers who become"unacceptable"should be relieved from driving responsibilities until the MVR reflects an acceptable status.
