Security clearances are handled by OPM and yes they do care about repeat traffic offenses. Most everyone has received a speeding ticket at some point in their lives but to have many in a short amount of time shows a disregard for the law and considered a negative behavioral pattern.
Having spent a considerable amount of time in the S2 shop at SWTG(A) squaring mine away (dual citizenship) I saw quite a few candidates have their applications for a secret clearance denied for repeat traffic offenses, debt to income ratio issues, spousal issues...
Depending on the offense(s), date(s) of the aforementioned, and the disposition(s) it could be an issue.
Calling USAREC, AC, nor the SF Liaison at Benning will change the offense or how the adjudicating authority perceives it. But call away if you really think it will change things...
Again, MR, my advice to you is to take it one step at a time. Get in and then apply for SFAS, if thats what you still want to do. In the meantime you would do yourself well to stop speeding. This will put some space between the MR of today (obeying the law) and that of your past...
HTH,
