Hi guys,I'm about to apply for British Citizen on March. I just had a speed camera flash last night and I think I will get 3 points for speeding( I hope not).

Thanks in advance.

You should be fine. One traffic offence won't affect at all. My wife had the same situation & caused nothing at all.

We have declared it on the application.

Good luck.

Thanks Kasturi, that is a good news mate.
I think I will declare it too rather hiding it.

spike_UK,

In one of my earlier posts, I have posted the DVLA number. Call that after a couple of days, with your Driving Licence(and counterpart) in hand and find out.

If this is your first ticket, you should be able to escape it by taking a speeding awareness course.

Anycase if this is your only offence in the past 12 months, make sure you pay the fine and not allow it to go to court.

You never know , you could be lucky and that flashing camera might well have an empty reel inside...
Cheers
