When filling out a job application, you may be asked to disclose prior criminal history. If you end up getting hired for the job, you will also almost surely have to go through\u00a0a criminal background check\u00a0before you start work. If you have a series of speeding tickets or other traffic violations, do you need to disclose them as criminal history or be worried about them coming up on your criminal background check?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In most cases, the answer is no. Most traffic violations are not considered criminal citations. Instead, driving 10 miles per hour over the speed limit or running a stop sign, for example,\u00a0would be classified as a \u201ccivil citation.\u201d\u00a0Civil citations are not a part of your criminal record. You do not need to go to court for them\u2014unless you plan on contesting the violation\u2014and will not be \u201cfound guilty\u201d or convicted of a crime.<\/p>\n

Civil citations exist as a violation below a\u00a0
\n
\n misdemeanor
\n <\/g>. Yes, technically you broke the law. However, since your \u201ccrime\u201d was 1) very minor, 2) something that a lot of other drivers do, and 3) likely committed without any sort of malicious intent, your speeding ticket or moving violation typically has no bearing on your criminal record.<\/p>\n

For the most part, driving infractions will only show up if someone runs a\u00a0driving history background check\u00a0on you. Some employers will take this step if they are filling jobs that involve driving. If you are applying for a delivery driver job, it makes sense for an employer to check your driving record. If you are applying for an office job, your driving isn\u2019t strictly relevant and likely will not be a matter of interest to the employer. However, accumulating infractions on your driving record can have consequences that go beyond employment, including hikes on your insurance rates and changes in your license status.<\/p>\n

With all these points made, there are types of traffic violations that can rise above civil citation and be classified as\u00a0
\n
\n misdemeanors
\n <\/g>\u00a0or felonies. These violations include convictions related to driving under the influence of alcohol or substances (DUI\/DWI\/OWI) as well as\u00a0
\n
\n offenses
\n <\/g>\u00a0involving reckless driving, hit and run, or drag racing. How these\u00a0
\n
\n offenses
\n <\/g>\u00a0are charged will vary depending on numerous factors, including the severity of the\u00a0
\n
\n offense
\n <\/g>\u00a0and whether the driver is a previous offender. However, if your record includes one of these\u00a0
\n
\n offenses
\n <\/g>, then you may have a criminal record as a result.<\/p>\n
