QUESTION
Can current employer of 10+ years use driving points from over 15 years ago against me?
Asked on Aug 12th, 2013 on Labor and Employment - Ohio
More details to this question:
I was recently handed a questionnaire asking about specific driving history. It asked if I had EVER had tickets for DUI, Driving Under Suspension, speeding, parking, etc. I feel that if I say I had 2 parking tickets 15 years ago they will write me up or terminate me. In the least they will say I can't drive company vehicles.

It would be a good idea to contact an employment law attorney to discuss your job duties and more facts surrounding the questionnaire. Was it given to every employee? Was it given to employees who drive for the company? Do you only have parking tickets? It is always best to be honest with the information you disclose to your employer because withholding information or providing false information could lead to your termination.
There may be illegal reasons behind the questionnaire and any punishment you receive if you only have two parking tickets that are over 15 years old. I would be willing to discuss this matter further. Please contact me at 614-949-1181.
