How far back can employers check your driving record in California?
I’m in the process of changing careers and am looking into getting my CDL license. I’m just a little worried about some speeding tickets that I got in my early driving years—which at this point is 20 years ago. How far back can a potential employer look into your driving record in California?

We hear you—background checks are kind of uncomfortable! Employers typically check your driving record in California as far back as seven years. Depending on the situation, an employer may choose to delve deeper into your driving past, especially if the records are still available.
If you’re concerned about certain infractions marrying your driving record long-term, you could submit a request to the California DMV to have your record expunged. However, even if you are granted an expungement of certain traffic violations, convictions such as a
DUI
will not be erased. If you have a less than savory driving record, the thought of shopping for
car insurance in California
can feel like a burden. Luckily, browsing car insurance
quotes doesn’t have to be painful when you download the Jerry
app. Super app Jerry is a
licensed broker
and personal insurance shopper that takes just 45 seconds to scoop up the cheapest quotes from over 55 insurance companies and deliver the best ones right to your fingertips. On average, people who use Jerry save over $800 on their annual insurance coverage!View full answer
