Ladadeda......Ok, so anybody (doctor or not) raise your hand if you drive 6+ years and not ever receive a traffic ticket!!! Anybody?
for individuals who receive a traffic violation after applying, do you have to alert AACOMAS or every individual school you submit a secondary to?? Or just the ones that ask in their secondaries?
I dont see anything on AACOMAS regarding updating a traffic violation unless one has been convicted of a misdemonor or felony. I have not been to court yet/convicted yet.
Me! Now what?Ok, so anybody (doctor or not) raise your hand if you drive 6+ years and not ever receive a traffic ticket!!! Anybody?
@samac @IslandStyle808 @OrdinaryDO : The violation is a misdemeanor if convicted. I have not been to court yet so I have only been charged with it. Do I report this now or after I have gone to court and been handed my verdict?
Anyone with knowledge or insight on this matter is much appreciated.
I would probably go on and inform them you have a a court date for a traffic violation and let that be that. Most schools won't care, but if it's a misdemeanor in your state I would want to be proactive and tell them before that's on my record. Most people lose traffic cases, so unless you have a legit reason it should be thrown out you probably won't win.@samac @IslandStyle808 @OrdinaryDO : The violation is a misdemeanor if convicted.

@Seth Joo : in my state it is considered a misdemeanor, does this change your opinion? Again, I have not been convicted, only been charged. My court date is later.

To put this to rest. I don't even remember how many traffic tickets I got, probably around 6 (for 12 years driving). I spread those across many states though. I only paid for those, never had to appear in court. I did not care to put them in my application because they are so minor as you live long enough to be a doctor, you probably will get one or two tickets in life time. Just dawn luck that one or few will get more than others (no, I'm not talking about DUI, just normal moving violation). Just because you want to be a doctor, does not mean you have to live perfect life. I don't think doctors any more superior being than a normal folk, and neither should you. So, chill.
Freakbeen driving for 13 years, and I dont have one. I was given a warning twice

44 states and the District of Columbia subscribe to the Driver License Compact (DLC), an interstate agreement used to exchange information on license suspensions and traffic violations by out-of-state drivers. Even non-participating states conform to the rules of the DLC, and there are similar compacts and agreements binding those states.
All of this makes it virtually impossible to receive a ticket out-of-state and not have your home state notified.

I've never had a ticket before!
