Thanks Rickair, that was very informative post. I would bet that an interview probably would have a guestion like you mentioned... "did you have any run-ins with the law", so all in all I think I would be better off just telling the story no matter what the wording. However on airline apps it asks if I was convicted, so that one I'm definitely saying no to.
As far as the drivers license, I was issued a temporary 30 day, and before that ran up I had already saved my license, but you are probably right, it would be better to consult a professional. Thanks again for the post.
