I am in the process of applying for UK naturalisation. I have never had any conviction.

Last year in August I got flashed in Brighton for doing 39mph in a 30mph zone. Ten days later received a NIP fromsussex police asking to provide the driver details (which I did straight away). Later I was offered three options

1. Speed awareness courese
2. Fixed Penalty £100 with 3 points
3. Go to court

I chose speed awareness course and went for the course last year.

Now I will be applying for Naturalization this week need some advise few questions.

1. Do I need to mention a driving offence in section 3 of the form in either criminal conviction or penalties ?

2. Do speed awareness count as a FPN ?


Thanks

No need to mention. Once you have done a Speed Awareness Course, there should be no record of you having committed a minor traffic offence. All the best.

You could mention it in the additional information section. It will almost certainly have no impact on your application.

but by mentioning it, aren't you bringing into they attention ?
I say this because I had a PNC and then a speed awareness course in the last 12 months and I am not sure if that would be a problem

I had a SAC and only mentioned it in the additional info section. Got my approval in 2 months so nothing to worry.
