Back in 4-20-2018 I got a speeding ticket for 90 in a 70, but on my driving record it only states "speeding equal to or greater than 10$ above posted". Of course, most potential employers will want to know the exact amount over I was doing, but am I legally required to disclose the exact speed I was doing?
Question about a speeding ticket, what do I have to disclose on an application?

You talked yourself right out of a good job.
Other drivers on this forum did the same about smoking weed.
They were tricked into admitting they tried it one time years ago, so they were sent home.
The person asking those questions couldn't care less about you having a job; he has a good job, so it's not his problem.
Never let someone that has a job, talk you into staying unemployed.Badmon, Massivenightmare, tlalokay and 1 other person Thank this. -

"Honesty" is a two-way and a winding street when it comes to pre-employment screening.
Does the company tell you everything that you would want to know about it before accepting the position? Nope. How about if you asked the right questions? Nope.
Best answer in that case is- "I don't remember exactly how fast I was going. Obviously, I wasn't watching my speed or I wouldn't have gotten a ticket in the first place!"
A little humor and a non-answer that won't hurt your chances of getting hired- LIKE admitting reckless driving when there's no other way they could've found out!Trucking in Tennessee, Badmon, Chinatown and 1 other person Thank this. -

Just give a call to the courthouse of jurisdiction for the ticket and ask to speak to the prosecutor. He/she may cut you a deal right on the spot or schedule an over-the-phone pre-trial hearing in which you can ask for a deal that will only cost you the amount of the fine itself and nominal court costs.
During these times, they are likely doing everything they can to avoid in-person proceedings
THEN, you handle the payment over the phone and receive your plea agreement by email- add an image of your signature on the blank line and email it back. Done AND done...NavigatorWife and Massivenightmare Thank this. -
