traffic offence during application

[aff0207]

Can some one please help....i have submitted my application on 23rd July and today i got pulled over by the cops saying i was driving without due care or attention.....they didn't give me any points or fine because he said they have no power to do that but instead gave me a offence letter saying new rules say it goes to court and they decide what punishment i get but looking at my clean license i just might have to attend a drivers awareness course and they wont give me no points.......will this affect my application and do I need to report it to HO or wait until I get the letter from the court deciding what they are doing.

aff0207,

Do not worry too much. Yes if it was your first offence you can get away with a drivers awareness course and you will not have any points on your licence.

Just inform the Border agency as a matter of your integrity. You will be fine.

Please can someone clarify this for me. I don't seem to find definite answer for this question:

I intend to apply for naturalisation as a british citizen -

i was involved in a traffic incident charged with CD10 - driving without due care and attention. I was asked to attend a Driving Awareness Course - which i did. There were no points om my license and no fines

1. In Section 3.7 - is this a criminal conviction?
2. Will it affect my application or can i still go ahead and apply

Thanks in advance
Chici

1. No.
2. No it will not affect. You dont even need to mention it. Good luck.
