Hi: Couple of questions:

I am ready to apply for my citizen ship. There is a question related to citation. WhaT does CITATION mean?

10YRS ago, when i was on leaners drivers license, i was driving my relatives car and hit Arby's the fast food shop...there was no arrest made or nothing . I don't even remember the date now as to when this happended. SHould i be mentioning about this under Good moral questions for question # D-16 ? Please advise what should i do.

Also, 2 yrs ago, while i was talking my car out of the garrage, at the same time my neighbour across my house was also talking her car out of the garage and we ran into each other with minor touches to each others cars, no injuries. She logged a report with the police station and finally it was decided that she was taking the car out in wrong direction... i was not given any warning or arrest. My insurance company took care of the rest for her... should i mention this under Good moral question # D-16. Please advise.

Thanks for help!

I think you are OK with respect to the 2nd accident and do not need to mention it.

If you got a traffic ticket or any other warning document from a police officer, that's a citation. Did you get a ticket when you hit Arby's? If yes, do you remember the fine?

I don't think i got a warning or ticket as i was on learner's drivers license at that time.. Is there site where i can go and check if there are any past tickets or warnings on my name?

I assume you would have remembered if you had received a ticket/warning. Looks like this should not be a problem, but to have peace of mind, you could check with your local DMV or police office if there is any record about this.

Hi :

I called my state DMV and found if i have any records of tickets or warnings. They reported none in the past 2yrs and said, the history of anything beyong 5yrs gets purged and there is no data or record to provide reports. Thoughts?

Looks like you did everything you could to find out and you do not remember getting a ticket. So you can go ahead and say 'no' to the question if you got cited. If the issue comes up during the interview (not much likely); i.e., the officer asks about traffic tickets specifically, you can mention the incident(s) and state that you were not cited.
