Noncriminal traffic offenses (such as careless driving) do not affect one’s eligibility to seal or expunge a criminal history record. But, an adjudication of guilt for any criminal offense, even a traffic offense,  makes it impossible for an applicant to get her criminal history record sealed or expunged.
