  If you are unsure whether to answer yes, we strongly recommend answering yes and fully disclosing all incidents. By doing so, you can avoid the risk of disciplinary action and/or revocation of an admission offer and can minimize the investigations conducted by the applicable Board of Bar Examiners.

  when in doubt, i would disclose and attach an addendum. you wouldn't want anything to come after you when you take the bar. your case probably won't be a huge deal.

  I agree with @"LOWERCASE EVERYTHING" - when in doubt disclose.

  This might help? https://7sage.com/admissions/lesson/how-to-write-a-character-fitness-addendum/

  Though every law school is different, I think this guidance from Washington and Lee Law school is a good place to start; https://wlulaw.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/yes-you-must-disclose-speeding-tickets-and-lots-of-other-words-of-advice/

  Mike Spivey also has a blog that very lightly skims on the topic of traffic tickets https://blog.spiveyconsulting.com/what-we-can-learn-from-emory-law-schools-c-f-instructions/

  Given

  This requires disclosure of all traffic offenses for which the penalty was a fine actually paid of $200 or more.

  and

  in which I paid $250 for the citation.

  I'd say that pretty clearly requires disclosure. Don't ever try to justify not disclosing... if you have to do that, disclose. What you don't want is the bar C&F to come back citing the above two facts and hauling you in for a hearing.
