If the company provides a work vehicle, they have the right to ask about your driving record. Most companies will ask for a copy of your driving record before hiring you, but the interviewer wants to know if they should be concerned about anything before requesting that. If you have a serious violation on your record, the interviewer may feel that you are a liability. However, if you had an infraction or violation that has been expunged from your record, you do not need to divulge that information. If you have something on your record, describe it and assure the interviewer that you have learned from the experience.

When responding to this question, avoid being dishonest about violations or infractions. If you are not honest, the interviewer will find out when they receive a copy of your driving record, and they will not offer you the position. You should also avoid blaming someone else for a violation you received. That would show that you cannot admit a mistake and accept responsibility.

"No, I do not have any violations or infractions on my driving record. I have been driving for ten years and have never been pulled over or had an accident. I consider myself a safe and conscientious driver."
