Speeding tickets are not criminal.





In the 1960s, the Air Force decided that they had too many candidates for pilots, and to winnow it down all candidates with a speeding ticket were disqualified.

I've often felt this was unwise, as you want fighter pilots to be aggressive.


So they looked at traffic infractions record, too; interesting.

Yeah, but you don't want them getting caught.
