There is no good character requirement for spouse visa applications.

You are not applying for citizenship so as seagul mentioned above, there's nothing like good requirement when apply for FLR.
My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.

The Home Office has a fair bit of discretion to refuse visas if they really wanted to. The section of the Immigration Rules quoted below is fairly similar to a good character requirement, though I wouldn't expect it to be applied to cases of road traffic offences.

"S-LTR.1.1. The applicant will be refused limited leave to remain on grounds of suitability if any of paragraphs S-LTR.1.2. to 1.8. apply.
...
S-LTR.1.6. The presence of the applicant in the UK is not conducive to the public good because their conduct (including convictions which do not fall within paragraphs S-LTR.1.3. to 1.5.), character, associations, or other reasons, make it undesirable to allow them to remain in the UK."
I'm just a guy on the Internet who immigrated to the UK. My opinions are based on my experience and interpretation of the immigration rules and should not be considered legal or immigration advice; your mileage may vary.

Yes I agree there's a bit of discretion however I am of the view that it won't apply traffic offence in the case of the OP. Here is what the guidance mentioned under general grounds for refusal

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... .0-EXT.PDF Page 73

"You must assess if there are cumulative grounds for refusing a person on character, conduct or associations grounds if a person falls under more than one of the categories included in this section (see related links) or there are other reasons for considering refusal. Public order risks Proscribed organisations Travel ban Threat to national security
However, the person must be informed of the reasons why their application is being refused or why a particular course of action (for example, deportation) is being considered or pursued. It is not enough to simply refuse a person on ‘character, conduct and/or associations’ grounds without explaining why"
My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.

You given answer to yourself. Traffic offence doesn't fall under the quotation you pasted here.
