Default Driving Record on an Interview

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask you guys a question. When you have an interview with an Airline, i know that you must bring your driving record. I have not seen/purchased a driving record yet, so i really don't know how it looks like. But, if somebody put a ticket on me and i took it to court and got NO POINTS on it, does it still appears on the driving record that i was issued a ticket??

The thing is, yesterday i had an accident with a colombian woman who ran a red light. She was with her husband and a 4 year old kid (a beautiful family) and i was the Pizza Delivery guy (the crazy kid who is in a hurry). The damage of my car was in the front right side, and her damage was on the rear right side. My light was totally green (not even yellow), but the woman blamed me saying that it was my fault cause i ran the light in yellow turning to red.The police officer was very clear to me, she said: "..look, i was not a witness and its your word against her word... i can only make an assumption by the physical damages of both cars... so i must issue the ticket to you, since your car has damage in the front, you probably ran the light on yellow turning to red and instead of braking you accelerated because you are probably in a hurry"

I was in total shock... i could only say that i was going to take it to court.... i dont care about my car, i dont care about my insurance going up... but im mostly afraid of the day of an interview with an airline... i mean... my ticket says: DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT... i don't know what to do, im totally depressed, i dont want to drive anymore (my airbag deployed and it burned my arm)... I finished my A.S degree classes, and now im doing my ERAU Extended campus classes in Miami, FL to get the B.S... Im also finishing my Instrument Rating... and have a few x-country hours for CAX.

Jose.
