Criminal convictions for British Citizenship

Hi guys

I am applying for my British Citizenship and I need some advice on how to fill out the criminal convictions section. I don't have any criminal convictions but I've had a caution which I've declared on previous applications. I also have been issued with maybe 3 or 4 speeding tickets in the past. I can't really remember how many as they were all issued around 2003-2004 in the USA. These have never been declared on any of my immigration applications as I was never required to. However, now it seems you must declare this when applying for naturalization. Now my main issue is where on the form do I put that information? Given a speeding ticket is not a criminal conviction, do I simply put 'No' in that box and then write on a separate piece of paper explaining that I have recevied speeding tickets in the past? Or am I supposed to tick 'yes' that I have a criminal conviction? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Thanks for replying. Did you give details of your parking tickets? If so, what details on them did you provide? I've got speeding and parking tickets from around 2003-2004 but none since then so I really can't remember how many I have or the details of them. I do know that they have all been paid.
