no. 
Never heard of it.
Deportation is the punishment for serious crimes and violations of the non-immigrant status.
Speeding and driving with a foreign license are not such crimes. Lots of people who are not residents of a particular state drive with foreign licences. Lots of people speed which is wrong, but it's not a deportable offense.

I am doing residency on J1 visa & I am currently in the final year of training. My training will be completed on June 30, 2011. Three months ago, I received a DUI first offense ticket. The officer charged me with DUI refusal & DUI. I hired a lawyer & DUI refusal charges were dropped. The DUI case is still pending & as per lawyer the case will go on for 6 to 8 months. My question is that how can this affect the j 1 visa waiver application & H1 B processing? Is there anything I can do proactively to be on the safe side.??
Please advise.. I am very worried to death since this happened.
