IRL after 28 months of Drink Drive

[Adviceseeker1984]

Dear Sir/Madam,
I had drink drive conviction (blood; 128) on 19Jun2012. Banned for 12 months (9 months after DDE course), conditional discharge – 6 months, No fine, £85 court fees. I got the police certificate last year for my US visa (which I did not apply later) and my drink drive conviction states there.
Drink drive was an accident at 2:00 AM in night of 15Apr2012 (over turned my car with pavement and railings, railing was already broken) with no one hurt including myself (sole driver) and no public property destruction.
I am due to apply for my IRL from 20Oct2014 (28 months after conviction). Currently on Tier-1 general visa expiring on 20Nov2014.

After reading your website for past 2 months, I have not seen any case where the new 24 month rule has been applied successfully in drink drive case.

Question 1: Can you please confirm if I will be okay or I need to find out another way of dealing with my situation?

Question 2: I was also given some fine of £40 in Glasgow in 2010 for ?public nuisance (not sure what), but police officer did mention that when dealing with my drink drive accident. I did not even remember at that time that it goes in my records. Do I need to worry about it? Do I need to get more information from police and declare in my application?

Question 3: Rent: I pay cash to my landlord (family). We have no contract. How do I deal with this, what should I wright in section 5: Home and Finances?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks

But, do I need to declare that 40£ fine as well?
Thanks

Kinds like it was a PND?

Hi Amber,
I am not sure what it was. I had, i think, 14 days to pay the fine, which I did by sending the cheque. It's the police officer here in Uxbridge told me that he could see I was given fine in Glasgow in 2010.
I had no idea it will show here in Uxbridge. i am going to ask at the police station for more information.
Thanks

Hi Amber,
I have just talked to Scottish Police and they informed me that it was for 'Breach of Peace' for 40 GBP. As per their protocol it remains on their system for 2 years only and then it disappears from the system and will no longer be shown.

Can you advise if it needs to be entered?

Thanks

If it wasn't akin to a conviction or caution then no.

Thanks Amber. It was not related to anything.
