Just got another traffic ticket today....

I know that traffic violations have to be reported in CA when applying for medical licensing. My concern is that, in the last 12 years, I've gotten 5 infractions (1 CA rolling stop, 3 speeding tickets, and 1 cell phone ticket).

None of them are misdemeanors, pretty scattered temporally (one roughly every 2 years).

My main concern is that given the shear number of tickets, will this be a problem when it comes to getting licensed?

Anyone with experience?

So how was your experience applying for the CA medical license? I'm in a similar boat. Feel free to PM me.
 
You're going to be fine... They are looking mainly for misdemeanors, felonies, etc. Seriously, I know attendings in Ca who would like to have your traffic record. 😛
