I don't know if that is necessary. I was interviewed in Feb of 2008. The last speeding ticket I got was in the summer of 2000. Unless you get pulled over a lot I would think it would be easy to remember somewhere close to when you got your last ticket.

In my teenage years I got tons of tickets. I even remember getting 2 speeding tickets in the same day when I was 17. I almost lost my license.

The interview people did ask about my driving history and I told them I got a lot of tickets as a new driver, but after nearly losing my license and having to pay all the fines, I slowed down. Further, I only had one in the past 8 years and nothing in 12 years prior to that.

Just be honest. I truly don't think if you forgot a single ticket 10 years ago it would be looked upon as dishonestly.....unless you were doing 50mph over the limit, citied for reckless driving, etc. If you got something like that you'd surely remember. I know some will say order driving histories from several states, etc. Though I can't fault them....I really don't think it's necessary.
