im gonna make this quick ,how should i list accidents on an application.i have 3 accidents one was in my personel vehicle.most company applications ask how many preventables accidents i have two that i consider preventable im just not sure what to put my personel vehicle accident as.im not trying to hide anything i always tell them about all three accidents there on my dmv report. i only have one that shows on my dac report .becouse the other company doesnt report to dac.but im having a tough time finding employment ive been driving since 2003 two accidents come off my liscence the beginning of 2009.so when they ask how many preventables should i put three or just the two that were in commercial vehicles.both commercial accidents were non dot reportable non chargeable.thank you jimbo

First off you need to report ALL accidents regardless of what kind of vehicle they happened in.

2nd as far as preventable or non-preventable you need to list what the company has listed for the accident. FYI: Unless you were legally parked, hit an animal, or rear ended just about all accidents are considered preventable to the company mindset.
