Is failure to appear considered a traffic violation?

[Brandy]

I had a ticket that I failed to pay so they suspended my license until I took care of it. Now I just had a prospective employer tell me they couldn't hire me because my license was suspended due to traffic violations. I have a chance to appeal the decision but need to know if I have a leg to stand on?

The sooner you hire an attorney, the stronger that leg will be.

I don't think I have that option. I have to go infront of the commission by myself and make my case. I went to the court and got a copy of the citation showing it was a speeding ticket. I also got a copy of their policy stating that if you fail to appear they will suspend your license. Then I went thru my ORC and found the punishments for speeding and that is gonna be my case. Also they already hit me on the speeding part of it in another portion of my background check.
