Good moral character

What is the name of your state? CT

Hi there......I am trying to file an application for naturalization but there are some areas in the application that i need to explore before I apply. These are mainly about probation/ rehabilitative programs. Here's what happened:

Couple of years ago, I was given a ticket by a police officer for "Reckless driving". Apparently, I didn't make a stop while coming out of a parking lot (Why this was considered a case of RECKLESS driving, I dont know....I wasn't drunk or anything & there was no accident). Anyways, I had to hire a lawyer to represent me in the court and ultimately I was placed on an Accelerated Rehabilitation program with no conditions/community service. My record was cleared after 3 months.

My question now is: How do I approach questions about good moral character in the application, for example:

1-Have you ever been convicted of a crime? (Was I really convicted?Was that even a crime?)

2-Have you ever been placed in an alternative sentencing/Rehabilitative program?(Although it was Accelerated Rehabilitation but there was no community service)

3-Have you ever been on probation?(Is AR considered a probation?)

Any help will be appreciated,

Thanx in advance.

Just like you did in your post. Tell the truth and explain.

but what i dont understand is.....

Is AR = probation = Alternative sentence?

Thanx for replying.

AR is not considered probation.

To question number one I would answer charged with reckless driving in (date).

To question number two I would put pleaded no contest to reckless driving charge, completed AR, no violations on record.
