Hi Members,

I have recently recieved a Notice for Intended Prosecution for overspeeding (driving in a 30 MPH road at 38 MPH). Its the first time but is happening during the time when my ILR is due for application early next year (about 6 months away).
Please could your urgently suggest me how to go about the same.
It is my first time speeding ofense and even though I would request to not put points on my license and instead go for a Speed Awareness class, please could some one who has been in a similar situation or who knows about the same suggest me how can I safguard my ILR application - whether this speeding offense will need to be mentioned while applying for ILR or something else that I would need to do.

Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.

Thanks !

It depends on the outcome

1. If speed awareness ---- no problem, do not mention it

2. If COFP without a visit to court ---- You do not need to declare that as it is a FPN. Can see in the application form clearly that FPN need not be declared

3. Court issued FPN ---- Even this is not going to impact your application as long as you pay the fine

Others can correct me if wrong

Where you offered the option of a Speed Awareness Course? It's not always an option, even for a first offence....

I at the moment have just replied back to the NIP requesting them a Speed Awareness Course n a cover letter but I know that at the end of the day its at their discretion.
Not sure how long will it take for them to come back.
Just hoping that whatever be the outcome doesnt affect the case around me ILR.
Would keep this thread updated with how it goes.

Thanks !

Ok. So the update is that I have been offered an option of going for Speed Awareness Course which I have accepted without a thought.
Hoping that this could have been the best outcome given my situation.
Please if someone has experienced anything similar or have heard of similar cases let me know that at the stage of writing my ILR application will this need to be disclosed ?
Looking forward to the views.

Speeding is not an criminal offence if you did not get a court conviction and has no effect on ILR
