18 November 2008 pulled off by the police while I was driving with a provisional licence (very next day of my first anniversary coming in the UK, what are the odds?!?! I had my driving test very next day as well!!! they towed my 1 week old car away...)

6 months later I received a letter from DVLA saying my case was gone to the court ages ago - did not know it as I changed address by then - and I need to send my driving licence to be endorsed with 3 points only and need to pay the fine (£350).
LC20 : Driving other than in accordance with a licence
CU80 : Using a mobile phone while driving a motor vehicle

145 days away on the application day (no questions asked)

Let me know if you need any more info.

thanks for everybody helping out!

A warm congratulation! Can you please advise if you had your fingerprint taken during the time of entry clearance back in 2007? If that is the case did you write that in the application form?

Is there any other finger print taken in between? The reason I am asking some people said, it takes time to process fingerprint if they had given it for entry clearance and never had done it in UK? Many thanks

Since there was no conviction (as reflected in CRB report), there was no reason why the application would not have been approved.
"Offence(s)" do not affect outcome, only"conviction(s)" can. And you did not have any.

No they did not take my fingerprints during the time of entry clearence in 2007, but they may have taken it at my Tier 1 extension, I told them I do not remember whether they have or not, but they wanted me to say 'Yes, UK 2009' just in case..
