Correct, it does not show up in the criminal record. People get tickets for traffic violations day in and day out. Don't worry.

As long as it is a simple speeding ticket, no it won’t. If you have been charged with dangerous driving (usually involves speeding at twice the posted speed or excessive speed), you can be charged under federal law and the penalty is up to 5 years. That could affect your citizenship.

Then you’re fine.

Take it to the track next time. Far fewer buses to dodge and costs about the same as your speeding ticket. :cool:
