I can't seem to find a clear answer on whether we should list traffic violations here. I have received tickets for two different things, both over 5 years ago. One was for "failure to control vehicle" when my car slid off the road on ice and the other was for speeding like 12 over on the interstate. I just "plead guilty" to both and paid the through the mail. Do these need to be disclosed?
I would recommend you do check yes and disclose this. I am fairly sure I was declined for that same reason as I had speeding tickets and did not say "Yes" on the form. In my naturalization, I did say "Yes" on that question.
