[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  Op - I don't think you should say anything unless or until you absolutely must.  Hopefully you will get it reduced to just a speeding ticket or something, but in the meantime all you might need to say is that you need to take a few hours or a day off for some personal business (assuming you need to appear in court).

Do be incredibly careful and conscientious when driving your charges, of course.

While I, as an MB, appreciate your instinct to be completely honest, I don't actually think it's necessary or in your best interests.  If you're directly asked by current or future employers then you can answer honestly and with the minimum info necessary.  "Unfortunately I do have one speeding ticket on my record but that is my only moving violation and that happened when I was alone on an unfamiliar rural road and didn't know the speed limit.  I take the safety of my charges very seriously and drive very cautiously, etc...."

An employer who is inclined to be anxious or suspicious will only be troubled and suspicious about an arrest for speeding so I DEFINITELY would not share that information now.[/quote]
