Should I bring up a suspended/restricted driver's license with a potential employer before a background check? [closed]

I accumulated 4 speeding violations in the last year and this resulted in a temporarily restricted license - it shows up on my MVR as suspended.

I have to go through a background check through HireRight, which includes an MVR segment.

It's for a corporate analyst position with minimal travel. I've also been working at the company for the prior 2 months as a contractor - they liked my work so I was extended a full-time offer.

However, I'm worried it may be revoked once HR sees the MVR. Is it best to raise the matter to HR before they see the HireRight report? I never interviewed or filled out a formal application yet.

No it's not, if they have a policy that would affect you, there is nothing that bringing it into the limelight will change.

Otherwise it's not related to your position and will probably make no difference. Best to let these things take care of themselves one way or the other rather than make a drama over it before it even becomes an issue. Time enough to address it when it actually needs to be dealt with.
