Old Traffic Viloation

[Wisbith]

I live in Ohio and when I was 17 (2 years ago), we had a really bad winter storm here. I had work in the morning after it had been snowing all night, so I got ready to go to work and left. I got about a mile from my house when my car hit some black ice and I hit a guard rail. I was driving really slow because of the conditions, and I estimate I was going about 25mph. The airbags did not even deploy. I got a ticket because I was unfortunate enough to hit some state property with my vehicle. Most of the damage was inflicted on my car and the guard rail was spared. The reflector was knocked off, that is it.

Being a minor it was mandatory to go before a judge. I explained my story and she just said to pay the court fines. I also had to attend some driving lecture, but every minor had to do so. It was mandatory.

Now that you have the history, my question is this. Did I ever actually get a ticket and will it show up on my driving record? Obviously the officer issued it to me, but was it thrown out?

What the court does has no bearing on whether the offense shows up on your driving history. If you were issued a summons, then it will show up.

Why did you want to know this? Are you applying to a law enforcement agency? At 19 years old? Were you thinking to exclude it from the application?

No I am not thinking of applying at the age of nine-teen years, and no I was not going to exclude it from the application. I just wanted to better understand what happened.

Thanks for your help.
