To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. If it's not on the driving record, I can't see how...but I do remember getting pulled over once in Wisconsin, and the cop mentioning a ticket I'd gotten years before in Virginia...even though that was off of my record by then. So it's possible. And, now that I think about it, I got pulled over a year ago in Milwaukee and the cop asked me about when I lived in California...which was in 1992. I guess he could see that I'd had a California driver's license that far back. I don't think all databases are expunged in a timely matter.

I wouldn't risk it...I sometimes see situations where someone's disclosed something on the application, and it doesn't come up in the background check (usually something that happened when they were a juvenile). I always am impressed with their honesty...but I have no mercy when stuff isn't on the application and it turns up on the background check.
