I have been convicted of three speeding tickets in less of 18 months, two tickets were given to me in 2008 and one 2009. Points were given to me for the tickets and now I have paid my dues and my license good to go. For what the DMV is telling me is that two of the tickets will be remove later this year, and that third one late summer of next year.
Will this hurt my chances getting employment?
 
Generally anything negative on your record such as speeding will hurt your chances. Points are similar, but also vary state by state. In California, you would have only been able to remove one of those points through traffic school, the other two you would not be able to remove. They would "fall off" your record after three years, but companies here usually ask for a ten (10) year record so they would still see it, but I don't believe (don't quote me on this) that it would count against you after those three years insurance wise. A lot of companies here policy is either one point or one accident (not one point and one accident), or up to two points at some. So here you'd qualify for some companies, but not all. When it comes to hiring, I think your points/driving record would come into consideration.

18 months isn't that long, and I personally don't believe you've paid your dues. How can you be trusted to drive an ambulance? My number one pet peeve at work is people who say "we're an ambulance" when they speed, park in the red zone, possibly play with the lights and sirens at inappropriate times. With your record, I wouldn't trust you driving an ambulance because I'd be afraid that you'd have the same attitude especially since you speed even when you're not in an ambulance.

Also search the forum. This is a regularly asked questions. I'm not just saying this because you created a post, but I want you to see previous feedback to other people who've asked the same question.

It will depend on the services insurance but also take into consideration the over saturation of ems workers in many areas. Most applying will have a clean record.

No really it's not like you were going 50 over the limit right..............?

My previous employer would not have touched him due to the tickets/lost points. You also had to be over 21 yo.

But Remember Canadian EMS is a lot more competitive.....

I used to work in the US. And there are places in the us that is similar to Ontario. Some places have hundreds of applicants for a few open positions.
 
every place i've seen has a 3 strike rule. Just look up the dates that they will expire so you know when that happens, and if you got caught doing 20 over make up some story why.... esp if all of your tickets were like that.

I have one. the technical language is something like failure to stop at a traffic motion device... which translated to i guess i didn't come to a complete stop at a blinking red light. If i didn't live more than 1 thousand miles away from where I got the ticket you better believe I would have contested it. It didn't hurt me as all the places ive talk to during the hiring process say 3 is our limit.
