Dont throttle me for askin'

Im sure somewhere this has been covered before, Im just not sure where. I actually need you guys' opinion, what would you do.

On the job application it asks you to list all traffic violations recieved in the last 3 years. (simple enough) 0

However in the state of Virginia, the points come off after 3 years, but they show up on your MVR for 5 years. So here is my quandary.

I have 3 speeding tickets that are 4 years old. (I know when the company pulls my MVR they are going to see them, but they only asked me for tickets I recieved in the last 3 years.

Does that mean they do not care about anything older? or does that mean most states MVR records only show the last 3 years for employment purposes and I just live in a jacked up state?

Anyway, I just want to see what your opinions of this are, and how would you document it.

 

Chicken,

There are several Apps Ive looked at that ask for the last 3, some advertise no more than 3 in 3 but ask for 5. Cressler asks for 3, Epes asks for 3 and I think Arnold was the other one, those are the main carriers I was interested in.

Thanks, I just didn't want to say 0, then they pull my MVR and see 3, evan if they are 4 1/2 years old. I guess its a judgement call.

I have my MVR and know whats on it, but they asked for 3, not 4.

I also was involved in an accident last year in which I was hit from behind, No citation, no fine, I was not at fault, but it is on my MVR. (I have 2 letters from the insurance company stating I was not at fault) is that considered Non-preventable?

and what te heck is a Preventable ticket? I see that alot also.

I guess its been a while since Ive filled these apps out. I just want to be as truthful as I can without giving out more than they are asking for.

Anyway thanks for taking the time to reply.

 

Tanks to Davenjiep and Chicken for the clarification. Im going to say the tickets (speeding) were preventable and the accident was not, as I had no control of the vehicle that hit me.

As far as the companies are concerned they show up on my DAC, Again, my DAC may only show the 3 year MVR like you (Chicken) said.

so unless they ask for 5 years, They only get 3. I'll keep ya posted, but won't be submitting anything till late November - December. I need to wait till #1 Son has flown the coop. (Bootcamp) that also lets me start the new year off without the worry of being home over the holidays as well.

Thanks again, still in research mode.
