I need to disclose all the traffic tickets I have ever received for some paperwork. Anybody have any good methods for obtaining this information? The tough ones are the states where I was just driving through so I don't know which local county/municipality cited me.

NJ is the worst. I was on either I-287 or I-78 a couple years ago but the damn state has hundreds of different court systems. :banghead:

Va in 1999. I was on I-81 or I-77 (Rockbridge county or south).

Ga in 2003/2004 near Augusta.

12 years of driving and no tickets. Never even been pulled over for speeding. I did get stopped once for tags that were 5 days expired and one other time for pulling a farm use trailer, and thats it.

One speeding ticket in 24 years of driving. (knock on wood). One repair order and a whole lot of hassle from Da Man when I was a teen.

Here in Az, the Az Supreme Court has the records of all city/county/state court records. It's one stop shopping.

Having had to fill out several of these types of forms, I can tell you that not all of these tickets will be on DMV reports. Sometimes you will get a check box that says the timeframe is an estimate, on others you may just list the year and where you think it was. As long as they see you aren't attempting to conceal it, you are going to be ok. Just record what you submit and make sure all future paper work matches exactly what you used, then be forthcoming with whomever you speak with.

And despite what they say, if you can't find any record of a ticket they probably won't be able to either unless it resulted in an arrest with a corresponding NCIC record. HOWEVER still disclose what you do remember!

it all depends on how shitty the local PD wants to be. Dallas doesn't mess with you unless you are doing something really stupid while College Station police have stopped me and written warnings or tickets for all sorts of piss ant reasons. Headlights not the same brightness, 37 in a 35, not having a front bumper (black disco with a stock black bumper, idiot thought it should have a chrome cover) and not stopping for 3 seconds before taking a right on a red.


If you haven't gotten many tickets then you haven't spent much time in small towns with too large of a police force.

Make that 4.

I had forgotten that the officer in NJ gave me a break and dropped the speeding down to "delaying traffic" which was nice (and only $66).
