Speeding tickets and past driving history

Hi all, I am in the process of filling out my application for the airlines and they are asking for my driving record. I have lived in multiple states with the military and need a good way to find them as for the life of me I can"t remember when they happened, After reading a few forums they say that I should be reporting every ticket I have ever received.

Heres what I have done so far:

I only have ever received speeding tickets...nothing more, so my first step was my CURRENT state DMV, but the website says they only keep them for 3 years. I know I have some before that.

I have searched on google to no avail for a nation wide database. I did find the NDR website but they only report if you have some serious accident or one involving alcohol or drugs.

Looking for some advice as the last thing I want to be is worrying about my past coming up in an interview because they found something I couldn't remember and now I look dishonest!!

Thanks
 
If you're really concerned with it, you can do a public records background check on yourself. That will find almost everything that's out there. Otherwise, put what you remember on the application. I'm not 100% sure of this, but I don't think the airlines will give you grief if you simply don't remember a ticket. Some even ask for a separate statement that lists your tickets. In that case, you can just say you got several tickets within a certain time-frame. As long as you're honest, it won't be a problem. However, a conveniently omitted reckless driving charge might cause a ruckus.
 
I might be over-concerned after reading all the horror stories of people not getting the job after something came out, but like I said the worst thing I have ever received is a speeding ticket. I will have to look into a background check

thanks for the reply
 
I had the same probem. In FL, your driving record only goes back 7 years. I pulled a background check on myself and it didn't reveal any additional information about a couple tickets more than 7 years old. I was able to go to the county clerk of court website and found all traffic cases I have been involved in. Not sure what states you lived in but it may be worth a shot.
