Driving Offences
Hi guys.
When completing a visa application I am asked if I have ever had a penalty for a driving offence, eg disqualification for speeding or no insurance, in the UK or in a different country.
When previously resident in the UK, I was convicted of careless driving and no insurance (1973) and had a speeding ticket around 1987. I have no problem declaring these, although I am a bit sketchy on details, how important is this?
Furthermore, since living in New Zealand, I have had two minor speeding tickets (about 10kph over the limit), both counted as traffic infringements as opposed to offences. Again, details pretty sketchy, how important is this?
Cheers! Tate
