I agree. They can't ask about crimes for which you've been arrested - only convictions.
Remember "
innocent until proven guilty?"
In fact, most applications only ask about felony convictions. Depends on the job, though.
You were convicted of reckless driving. Don't mention anything else.
In this economy, just the fact that you checked "yes" will likely get your application tossed - HR people need to cull the stack of resumes somehow, and that's as good a reason as any. Better to move on now than get caught in a lie later. If you
do make it to an interview, it probably won't even come up.
