I have two traffic violations that are both pretty old (one was 8 years ago and I was a juvenile, so the record is sealed if not expunged, the other one was 4 years ago). I remember the date of one, the general time period of the other, and I know the gist of what happened in both but I don't remember what I was specifically charged with, etc. Neither is a major deal and the fines for both were like less than $200, it's not like I forgot all the details of a hit-and-run or something.
The driving record thing I can request from my state only goes back 3 years. Is there another way to find this info? Should I be worried about having all the specifics since it was so long ago? If I had it I would have no problem sharing everything but I don't really want to have to take off work to go to a county clerk's office for the records or something.
I apologize if there's a guide for this stuff somewhere, I've been searching for an answer for a while and I'm not finding anything besides recommendations to request that driving record thing, which again won't actually be helpful.
I went down a crazy rabbithole of calling 3 different clerks offices and found the info on one, that was surprisingly easy! Thanks LSAT_Wrecker.
The other one (that I received as a juvenile) they won't release the info to me over the phone but I left a message with a clerk that can tell me if it has been expunged. I wish someone had warned me about this more thoroughly when I started drafting stuff for my apps, but I guess I just assumed that since some places didn't care about traffic violations, most places wouldn't. I guess I fell for the trap there.
