    Save some stupidity when I was younger when I got a slew of parking tickets, didn't pay them, had my registration suspended, got pulled over for that which snowballed to driving with a suspended license, etc. (all way over 5 years, all more like 10 years old) - the most recent thing I have on my record is a minor speeding violation that is even itself 3 to 4 years old.

    Until yesterday! I was riding in the car with a friend to go get my brother from another part of the state because he broke up with his fiancee. Well after we stopped for gas, I forgot to put my seat belt back on. We were not in my car and in my car I'm graced with automatic seat belts. I love 'em. That state trooper pulled us over, only for the seat belt violation - not a single other thing. So I got a seat belt ticket as a passenger.

    Is a recruiter going to have an issue with this? Or is this something generally over looked? Sorry for the lame question - I'm just a nervous newb that is working on figuring out financing to get to school instead of going through a company like Millis or Swift for training.

    the seat belt thing is no big deal in a car, and even then, you say you were a passenger. do not sweat this one.

    Sorry for the huge delay in responding with a thank you for the reassurance that this will not be a big issue. I figured it wouldn't be... but I just wanted to be absolutely sure.
