Do i need to mention my road conviction when i applying for a job?

You are not required to say unless they specifically ask if you have points on your licence, or if you will require a clean licence to work for them.

They have no legal right to know what they were for, but as your licence will be endorsed with a code they can figure it out in the general area. ie, speeding / drunk etc. They have EVERY right to ask to see both parts of your licence (ID card & form) to verify information & check which classification of vehicles you can drive.

ps. If you were doing a test drive - the GARAGE has the insurance...NOT you.
It is also possible if a PRIVATE SALE, that because the owner (presumably insured) ALLOWED you to drive without your own insurance he is liable for at least part of the bill.

Depends if it counts as a criminal conviction. I would check with your local police station on the categorisation of this crime, I though traffic offences were not criminal ones.

It would depend what you were being asked on the application form, if they ask if you've got any CRIMINAL convictions and it isn't a criminal conviction then don't declare it. If they ask about a MOTORING convictions, then you'll have to come clean.

U only need to mention it if U get a driving job, or a job with a company car.

if not there's no real need to tell them, if they ask U specifically tho, U have to tell them, as they can fire U for lying on Ur application/interview

Only if you are asked whether you have any convictions.

It was not a criminal act like theft, or asult. I would say you need not mention. Most companies will do background check anyway and will find it. Don't offer unless they ask about it. It is best to stay off negative subjects when going to interviews. Don't offer unless they ask.

NO
UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO END UP DRIVING FOR THE COMPANY
IF THE CO DOES NOT APPLY TO THE CRB THEN U SHOULD B SAFE

only if asked.

Firstly, yes it is a crimal conviction and so technically you MUST disclose this for 5 years...but only if asked, either verbally or in an application. If you're not asked you don't have to volunteer the information to them. If they ask and you lie then get found out you can be prosecuted as this is an offense (although its unlikely you'll ever face charges for it).

If you apply for a job and the do a CRB then no matter what convictions you have the only ones that will show up are the ones relative to the job. For example if you go for a driving job then your driving conviction will show up but if you were to go for a job in an office then it wouldn't. Also any charges currently pending ie if you're on bail or going through court proceedings, these ALWAYS show up on a CRB until you are wither convicted or let off.

Points only go onto your criminal record if its for a criminal offense such as no insurance, no license etc or if you get more than 12 points (called a totter) which then results in a driving ban which in itself is a criminal conviction and as such goes on your record.

The end result of all this, if its a driving job be honest with them, if its any other job then lie through your teeth and they will never know (unless you let it slip later).

Unless its driving a public service vehicle I would not worry about. That would not even show up on a criminal record, so happy job hunting and good luck :O)

i would not. they ask you for any felenies and if you have those then i would tell them those not a road conviction.

most of the time only if u are applying for a driving job or get a comany car with ur job

you'll be alright as long as you don't want to become a bus-, taxi- or truckdriver

you should be okay, unless you have to drive for that job, or you have to complete an application form which asks specifically about any convictions but it is not really a conviction I dont think is it? You will have to mention it if you are CRB checked..

If the question is asked on the application form or in interview "Do you have any motoring convictions or points on your licence" Then be honest. If the question is not asked, then you need not declare it.

no, I don't think driving offences come under criminal law unless you are a TWOCer.

I was interviewed under caution after a road traffic accident. I was the driver and a police van jumped a red light and hit my car. The road traffic cops interviewed me at the scene and I was breathalised but I was comnpletely in the clear. My car was written off but all costs were paid by the police. Will the caution show up in any CRB check? I work with vulnerable adults and regulary need an enhanced CRB check
