How can we fine-tune our job application to spot bad drivers?

02/16/2015

Q: “We currently have a question on our employment application that asks whether the person has been convicted of a crime, and if yes, to please explain. However, we would also like to ask about speeding tickets, moving violations, etc., since all of our employees transport individuals with special needs. Our liability insurance won't cover anyone who has had a DUI within the past seven years or three or more moving violations within the past 36 months. How can we legally ask about the person's driving record in order to weed out bad drivers without having to pay for a background/driving check?” – Janet, North Carolina
