    If you are involved in an accident, but no tickets were issued (fender bender or similar) does this show up on your driving record?

    i THINK, if a police report is filed, then yes, you'll see it on your MVR.

    i've been lucky enough to not know from experience.

    Even an arrest for an incedent will show up. For a DUI even if case was dismissed, it shows up on your MVR. Speeding tickets, show up on MVR. Everything you've done in a vehicle shows up if there was a cop involved.

    From what I've checked, If the accident isn't your fault then don't worry about it. If it is your fault, then there's some splainin ta do.

    If you have any questions it's best to call their recruiter personaly and ask.

    Maybe yes, maybe no. It there was an accident report by law enforcement, then it probably will. However if it was handled just by exchanging driver/insurance information, then probably not.

    I'm guessing you are asking this prior to seeking employment in driving, or in obtaining automobile insurance.

    The easiest way to handle it, is to be up front about the fact that you were involved in a minor accident. Then tell them that you did not get a ticket for it. That way, you are pretty well covered.
