Driving offences and good character

Hello,

I am currently planning my citizenship application and was looking at the "good character" requirements :)
It seems that driving offences (FCNs / PCNs) need to be disclosed. Since moving to the UK (6 years) I mostly drove rental cars, and got 4 fines - two for parking, one for staying on a yellow box, and one for entering a closed road.
I am wondering, how likely is it that these fines will affect my chances? Is the fact that I was not the registered keeper of the cars I drove (as all of them were rentals) making the things any better or any worse?

Thanks!

They do not need to be declared. PCNs are not issued under your name. I never disclosed my PCNs on my application and I had several of them. Granted without any issues
