Record subject — Drivers Abstract Ontario
The record subject is the person or thing the requested document describes. Ontario distinguishes driver searches, vehicle searches and CVOR carrier records. This first distinction helps a reader compare products before looking at certification, reporting periods or delivery information, because a correctly supplied record can still concern the wrong kind of subject.
Meaning in this reference

Use the term in context
Write down whether the request concerns an individual driver, an operator or a vehicle. Then use the official product description and the ordering page to check the match. The presence of abstract in a title does not make these subjects interchangeable, and My Drivers Abstract's individual ordering routes should not be assumed to supply vehicle or carrier records.
