    Tickets I care about, violations don’t care. See many drive for others and violations just don’t seem to count when the driver is out of control of much of the maintainance decisions.

    Which ones show up on your official state motor vehicle record ?

    Which ones show up on your drive rite or dac or any other databases ?

    list the ones that show up , that the employer will be able to find easily.
    And ask the employer if they want moving violations ?
    Moving violations with points ?
    Warnings ?

    the application should read traffic convictions , because if you go to court and it’s dismissed , it’s like it never happened .

    The only one I'd worry about is the improper passing, but even that idk. Usually they just want moving violations and accidents as those affect insurance.

    You have no tickets. When applying I would say zero.

    Warnings don’t count as tickets in this regard and neither do fix-it tickets. Rule of thumb is if it isn’t on your mvr when you pull it, don’t worry about it.

    Most applications I've filled out over the last few years ask for convictions, not tickets or warnings. So if I were you I would only include viations for which you have been convicted.

    I would not list warnings, only convections that show on your mvr. If its not a convection, it should not show.
