Can My Security Clearance be Impacted Because of Speeding Tickets?

Did you know…Speeding tickets can impact a security clearance? Speeding tickets and other blemished on driving records have more consequences for Virginia drivers than people think-much more than just fines. Many aspects of your life can be impacted very significantly by a bad driving record, including your security clearance.

Can My Security Clearance be Impacted Because of Speeding Tickets?

With all of the government jobs and government contractors in the area, many drivers in the Northern Virginia area have security clearances or will likely need a security clearance at some point for their employment. This means that when these drivers apply for a security clearance, they will have to go a thorough and detailed background check. A clearance is also periodically reviewed after an individual has already obtained one.

Security clearance reviewers examine many aspects of a person’s life. Failing to follow society’s norms and rules is one such factor in the review process. Poor driving records in Virginia, including but not limited to a history of speeding tickets, indicate in a clearance review process that a person has trouble following rules. Speeding tickets, Reckless Driving charges, DUI charges, and other traffic convictions in combination or combined with these offenses can be viewed negatively during a security clearance review process.
