effects on chances

Actually, here's the important thing: what's done is done. If you're unhappy about how you answered the question, spend some time thinking about how you'd like to answer it the next time. Don't keep fretting about it or beating yourself up. Self-flagellation won't serve any useful purpose.

I had an interview a few weeks ago where I mentioned how when my disabled brother was in trouble, I had to race to see him. During this event, I got stopped by cops and received a speeding ticket. I did not think much of it when i said it at the interview but now weeks later, i am wondering how that could be perceived. This response was to a question that caught me completely off guard. What do you think? I probably should have mentioned some other example but do you think it impacts chances?

Your explanation is pretty vague, but I really couldn't imagine any reason why "racing to see your disabled brother" would be perceived negatively. Post-interview waiting can really drive you crazy, in addition to having you perceive things as much worse or much better than they really were. Following an interview I had this cycle, all I could think about was how one of the interviewers seemed to hate me ---> I was accepted...

As @HomeSkool said above: "what's done is done." Don't beat yourself up. Your interview likely went fine. I hope you hear soon! Good Luck!
