When did recruiters start disqualifying candidates over such seemingly minor traffic infractions?
Minor?
A matter of opinion. My company was only interested in hiring the most responsible people out there. Driving record was considered. So was credit history.

Lots of "they can't" and "illegal" comments in this thread. You rarely find out exactly why someone else got the job, though.

Life can be like a megaphone, sometimes; make a mistake at this end, and the effect can multiply far past your imaginings.

Yep. My ex-husband drove a company truck and they stuck a hidden GPS on all of them because so many of their employees drove like idiots in them. He didn't, but many others did. It wasn't so much speeding, but wrecking them. One of the guys drove into a concrete abutment and totaled a near new huge Dodge diesel pickup he had just been assigned. So what happened each time the employees did stupid things like that? Corporate insurance rates went up, up, up. This policy encourages employees to have respect for their jobs and the nice perks they get.
