Hi, mate, I guess you are OK, but I am not expert on it.

Have a look at the following:
This page tells you how to consider an application from someone who has or has had a
fixed penalty notice.
A way of the criminal justice system disposing of fairly minor offences without the need for a
person to attend court is to issue a:
 fixed penalty notice (FPN)
 penalty charge notice (PCN), or
 penalty notice for disorder (PND).
Receiving one does not form part of a person’s criminal record as there is no admission of
guilt. You must disregard them for the purposes of checking if they amount to a conviction
for an offence. However you must be aware of the exceptions, as follows.
 There are criminal proceedings for failure to pay and the individual receives a more
serious penalty as a result. The new penalty imposed must be the starting point for
considering if the applicant is refused within a different refusal category. Or
 The person has multiple penalty notices, or one or more penalty notices alongside
other non-custodial sentences, particularly over a short period of time. You must
consider if, additionally or alternatively, the character, conduct and associations
provisions apply.
For further information, see related links:
 Character, conduct or associations
 Penalty notices for disorder.
