Do drivers license failures count against you when applying at the airlines?

Discussion

I’m 29, just passed my PPL first try and am now working on instrument. My goal is the Airlines.

My aviation career is off to a great start, but it took me three tries to get my drivers license when I was 16. I failed on parallel parking the first time, and the second time a woman ran out into the road which made me freeze up in an intersection for a few seconds. I also have a speeding ticket from when I was 19.

I assume this won’t be a big deal, but will it be a factor at all? Can the airlines even see drivers test fails from 13 years ago?
