Re: police checks !!
Hi,
As I understand it, you should not have any problems!
Firstly, the wreckless driving is known as a 'non criminal' offence unless it was at the extreme end of the scale which would be 'Causing death by dangerous driving'.
Secondly, the being bound over to keep the peace was 7 years ago and is quite trivial in the big scheme of things. I would say - go for it!'
After all, my husband had a similar offence against his name only 3 years ago and we have submitted our police reports, which mention this, and we have just received our requests for medicals! I hope I'm not jumping to conclusions but surely if there was an issue for us it would have prevented us from reaching the medical request stage??
Good Luck and let me know how you get on.
Regards
Tamsin
