Doesn't exactly match the "ticketed under 14" but the ticket, with conviction, might be considered the moving traffic conviction that makes them ineligible for a license until they are 18.
A "moving traffic conviction" is not a ticket. You can get a thousand tickets but unless you are found guilty of the violations, none of them are convictions.

The statement, as I'm interpreting it, means that when the 9-year-old turns 16, she can get a learner's permit. And as long as she doesn't get any moving traffic convictions within the next twelve months, she can get her drivers license.
