Hello all, first post here. Sorry in advance about the long post, but perhaps you'll see some humor in this comically bad luck.
I am an EMT in a metropolitan area, and recently had an interview for a new job that's a significant upgrade from my current one. The pay is much higher and it will be my first job working in the 911 system (as opposed to transport / non-911 emergency calls). It's taken me two years to get to this point and the interview went super well. It seemed like I was on the verge of a really good EMS job at a highly reputable agency.
Then, the day after the interview, I was driving home late at night in the rain. Down a street I drive down all the time. This street has some intersections with stop signs, some with red lights, and some where you can just drive straight through. For some reason my mind glitched, and I proceeded right through a stop sign into the middle of the intersection before realizing what I had done and slowing down. But of course on this night of all nights, a cop was sitting right there on the intersecting street! Predictably, I received a ticket that could put points on my license. This is my first violation ever in about 7 years of driving.
This particular agency that I applied to demands 0 points on hiring, but allows X points every 3 years once you are hired (not putting exact number for anonymity). This particular ticket carries less than X points. Obviously, they have access to your driving record throughout your employment because they have to insure you to drive the ambulance.
Earlier today the job called to tell me the interview went well and they would like to move forward. They gave me proposed start dates for various training and pre-employment testing requirements. The advice I had been given by coworkers and friends was to be upfront about the ticket, in case the points were added later, the ambulance service was to look at the date of the offense, and see my omission of the incident as deceptive. (Because technically my license is completely clean at the moment, but if I am convicted at traffic court, the points would be added later during my employment).
So I told them that, for full disclosure, I had to inform them of something. I described the situation, mentioned that it was in my personal vehicle, not an ambulance, and of course pledged that this would be my first and last traffic ticket because I did not intend to repeat that mistake. The lady on the phone said that she would talk to the hiring manager about what to do. I followed up by emailing her my current clean driver's abstract, and emphasizing that as of right now (and the forseeable months), I do have a clean license.
This of course is a Friday afternoon, so I don't expect a response over the weekend (though she said she would be in touch about scheduling tomorrow). I'm wondering now if I shot myself in the foot, and shouldn't have revealed something that I wasn't even convicted of (there's a slim shot at getting the ticket dismissed in traffic court). I'm not looking for advice per se, because the deed is done, but it's stressing me out a lot. I just hope that I did the right thing. Any thoughts?
