- 1 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2022-05-09 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.

- Authority involuntarily revoked 5 times, most recent 2018-11-27 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
- Crash Indicator and Hazmat Compliance BASICs are statutorily withheld from public SMS under the FAST Act — their absence is not a clean record; use the crash-risk signals above instead.
