Does a criminal background check show my driving record?
I’m job hunting for a remote position after my friend told me that working from home is amazing! After some searching, I found a position that I think I’d be great at. My only worry is that the company wants to do a criminal background check and I have a few speeding tickets. Will a criminal background check reveal my lead foot?

Remote jobs are all the rage these days, giving you work-life balance and a way to escape the cubicle farm! But if you’re worried above speeding tickets showing up on your background check, don’t be. A criminal background check does not show your driving record, at least in the sense of minor traffic violations.
Only a few charges on your driving record will show up on your background check, and that’s simply due to the criminal element of them. These include:
- Habitual offending to the point of a criminal charge
- Reckless driving
- DUI or DWI
- Vehicular manslaughter
- Vehicular homicide
Since you’re working from home and you’re not driving for your employer, any offense outside of the ones listed above shouldn’t pose a problem to your employment opportunities.
The crux of the issue isn’t whether your potential employer may find your speeding tickets. It’s how much your car insurance premiums may increase due to your lead foot. But that’s when
