Medical Will background check show speeding ticket?

Forgive me if this was asked before. So I recently submitted my Certiphi background check. As I was talking to someone about it, it hit me that in my AMCAS application, I had completely forgotten to state that I had a speeding ticket some 10+ years ago ( I can't really remember the time). GOOGLE says that traffic violation in that state is considered a petty misdemeanor and will stay in the driving record for up to 5 years ( 10 for egregious and multiple instances, mine were neither of them). So my question is should I bring this up now and email all the schools or should I wait to see if the background check shows the violation then notify the school?

These questions almost always ask about offenses "other than minor traffic violations," so I would be shocked if the speeding ticket shows up in a background check. And if it did, nobody would care. Definitely don't go crazy emailing schools.

This shouldn’t be an issue. Everyone gets traffic tickets...it won’t keep you out of medical school.
