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.
