    Thing is, a non-preventable still shows on a drivers read out. That's not right.

    Statistically, that stuff matters. Think about it, what if you've been rear ended 6 times in a couple years? Are you REALLY unlucky? OR do you like to cut people off and like to stomp your brake pedal thru the floor? In my state (VA) an accident shows on your driving record regardless of fault and does NOT show which side of it your were on. All employers have to judge you on is your points which works to your advantage. Also, driving records for employment purposes only go back 7 years which could be a huge advantage for some. I'm clean either way.

    Like everyone said,no outstanding tickets like reckess,adequate csa score,adequate hos violations.Not too many tickets overall.Anymore employers are looking more at the mvr then job history.I have applied to quite a few places over the last few months and everyone but one was going to hire me and I ended up turning them down because they left the important things out in their ads.Now I have a job I start Monday and very happy with the 2 ppl that interviewed me twice and seems like a lid back place.Really looken forward to starting.

    Do flat tires count? Cause I've got a few of those in the last year.

    My question here is Are we talking about anything that is on a CSA as well as a MVR because what about warnings and no citations. The way the system is it's messed up.

    Well it doesn't look like I will be starting anytime soon. Just found out that I have 2 felonies in Florida for something. Thing is I have never been to Florida. Looks like it save up money to contact a lawyer.

    But hey my MVR cam back blank.

    no need for a lawyer yet.

    all florida criminal records are online, for free.
