For a sales rep job that requires a clean driving record how far do they go back?

Is it 3 years or 5 or over your whole life or how far back does a company look? I am guessing they require that for insurance reasons...

Actually insurance laws vary from state to state. In the state I live in for example, insurance companies can only base your rates on any citations or accidents within the past three years.





DMV has differing retention periods for items on your record based on the severity of the offense. Minor violations usually stay on your DMV record for five years, and sever offences can stay for ten years. Some extremely severe offences can stay on your driving for life. Just because DMV keeps items on your record for as long as they do does not mean your insurance company can go back as far as DMV has record.





Employers can often go back as far as DMV has record, and it varies from employer to employer. Some employers go all the way to get better rates, and ensure that they have safe drivers. Others may only go back as far as is REQUIRED for insurance verification.





To clarify, insurance companies can only go back three years to count items against you, but some can and do give discounts for people with clean driving records for five to ten years.





Basically, it's going to depend on the employer, and you will want to find out what the company policy is for how far back they review your record. You can also call the DMV in your state to find out how long they even keep specific violations on your record that employers could access. If the DMV doesn't list it anymore because it was minor or something, then the employer can't find out about it from DMV even if they want to.
Reply:Well it really depends on the company. If it is for insurance, the insurance company could go as far back as 7 to 10 years. It just depends. I have insurance companies that go back 7 years.
