Many years ago I got a ticket for reckless driving. It was dismissed. I am following up with the lawyer who got it dismissed for more info about it. Would that prevent me from getting a clearance? And is that something I would have to put on the form?
It depends what was the reckless driving. That charge is often used as a step down for an alcohol related infraction. It was also the charge in many states when you had a BAC between .08 and .1. (Back when .1 was the legal limit in many states)
If alcohol or drugs were involved, you must report it regardless when it occurred or if it was eventually dismissed. If it was originally a misdemeanor within the last seven years, you must report it. Otherwise, it is not a reportable incident.
No drugs or alchohol. As for whether it was a misdemeanor? I dont remember but will find out soon. And if so i will report it. But does that hurt my chances of gettiing a clearance? I will at least be able to put that i was not convicted.
Reckless driving is also cited for >40 over the speed limit (Esp in a school zone), and sometimes in conjunction with stuff like tailgating iirc.
The first thing the investgator will want to know is how many is “many”? We hate those vague terms.
I know the exact date but disnt want to post it here. On the form of course i would use it
I had 4 arrests all due to a suspended license, and all were dismissed. I was young and dumb and really good at building fast cars.
It has been well over 10 years now with nothing more than a no plate ticket because my plate gets stolen a lot.
Not a single issue, and I noted i was arrested the 4 times and why.
