Do we need to disclose traffic tickets from a foreign country on I-485?

My husband has a number of minor traffic violations from his home country. None of them are for actually breaking the law - he simply received them because he was pulled over and refused to pay a bride. They are for things such as having a dirty car, worn tires, having rust on his car, or speeding (without any details provided or confirmation he was actually speeding). He has not received any citations in the United States. His police and Interpol certificate were clear. On his I-485, should he disclose these traffic tickets?

Instructions always help

 

the question is arrested, detained or convicted

 

Normal traffic violations are not an arrest 

 

but read thru the instructions

and how did u fill  out this question on the DS 160?

For the instructions for I-485, Part 8, Item 25-45, answer truthfully "Yes" to whichever one is closest to your situation like #25 or #26?

 

And can put in Part 14, Additional Information:

"____ had ____ minor traffic violations with the home country law enforcement. The minor traffic violations were cited but not charged. I can provide more details if requested at a later date."
