Getting my license but I got a speeding ticket?

Question

I got my permit when I was 15 and I got a speeding ticket one month ago. I did some service and I have no points on my record. I turned 16 just recently and I want to try to apply for a license but it says I can not get one if I have had traffic convictions in the last 6 months. Does it still count as a traffic conviction? And when you go to get your license, will they even check to see if you have any traffic convictions?

Answer 1

Yes they will check. You will not be driving in the foreseeable future. Get a bus pass or ride a bike.

Answer 2

Speeding ticket does count against you. Wait the 6 months. And yes, they will access DMV records to see if you have any moving violations. If you lie, it will make matters worse.
