Good character requirement query

[deepblue]

Confused due to new good character rules - help please!!

My wife is applying for BC on 3 year route (married to British citizen). She received 1 speeding Notice of Intended Prosecution in April 2014 last year followed by offer to take a speed awareness course in lieu of penalty and points. She has no points on her license nor did she pay penalty. She only paid the course fees and attended the speed awareness course. This was within last 12 months. We are confused about how to declare this. Talking to NCS where she will apply, they said no need to declare as no points received.

Please suggest what we should do here on FORM AN

Should she tick YES to Question 3.6 Have you been convicted of any criminal offence in UK or any country?
or Should she tick YES to Question 3.8 Do you have any civil judgments against you or any civil penalty under the UK immigration acts?
or Should she tick NO to 3.6 and 3.8 and give details in page-15 Section titled 'Further Information not covered in other sections'

Any help greatly appreciated!

It does not need to be declared. The speed awareness test is done INSTEAD of receiving points or penalties. I did a speed awareness (32 in a 30 zone) in 2013.

If I attend a course, will I still get penalty points on my licence?

No, Once you have successfully completed the course, no further action will be taken and you will have no record of this on your licence.
