israelecon is almost a TestMagic guru.
i am not a legal expert. but, i can tell you that the applications usually ask you if you have been convicted of a felony, other than a minor traffic violation. it seems to me that you were never convicted of anything, you got a speeding ticket. and you weren't convicted of not paying. if i were you though i probably would pay the ticket if i want a visa. i find it hard to believe that this is what will prevent you from getting a visa, but then again i don't hand out the visas. you should call the schools if you are worried, most of them have departments that take care of visas. you can call anonymously if you want, no need to give them any information about you. you can probably also call the consulate in whatever country you are.
after all, keep in mind, you didn't pay a speeding ticket, its not like you murdered or robbed someone.
