Manitoba Driver's Abstract — Complete Guide
A driver's abstract in Manitoba is issued by Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) — the province's public auto insurance corporation. Unlike most provinces where driving records are managed by the transportation ministry, Manitoba's driving records are managed through MPI because of the province's public auto insurance system.
What Is a Manitoba Driver's Abstract?
Your Manitoba driver's abstract records:
- Highway Traffic Act convictions: (speeding, distracted driving, running stop signs)
- Criminal Code driving convictions: (impaired driving, dangerous driving)
- Driver Safety Rating (DSR): — Manitoba's merit/demerit system
- Licence suspensions and reinstatements:
- Licence class and conditions:
- Vehicle registrations: (in some versions)
Manitoba's Driver Safety Rating (DSR)
Manitoba uses a unique Driver Safety Rating system instead of a traditional demerit point system. Drivers start at zero and move up the scale (positive) for each year without convictions or at-fault claims. Convictions and at-fault claims move drivers down the scale (negative). Your DSR directly affects your auto insurance premiums.
