Speeding tickets are violations (in NYS) - don't know if they are more severe in other states, you have to find that out. Background checks look for felony and misdemeanor convictions as well as sex offender registry etc. Need to declare misdemeanor convictions. Felony conviction? I don't think I would bother applying.

You'll be fine.........
 
Yep, in fact a lot of applications say "except traffic fines" when asking about your criminal history. Unless you have a series of reckless endangerment violations, you're bueno.
