Speeding convictions - Shotgun renewal.

[Penelope]

I am currently completing my shotgun renewal application and for the life of me cannot remember the dates (5 in total over 27 years) apart from the latest (2014) for speeding convictions (the usual, just over, camera, 3 points).

 

I have been on the DVLA site and found the latest, which I already knew.

 

As I am sure everyone on here knows, the application asks for ALL previous convictions including speeding offences.

 

Does any know where I can find such info?

I think is this case the word "Approx" is your friend.

I just put 1984 approx 1989 approx and had no problems.

I can't even remember that! I might be within a couple of years, guessing.

 

I have emailed Essex plod (ders) to see what they suggest.

Ive always just noted "no convictions since last application"

[robbiep]

As stated, 'approximately' is good enough for historic offences.

 

Amusingly, when I declared a speeding conviction from 1994 on my FAC application a few years ago, NWP had no record of it, and neither did DVLA !

 

If you really want to, you can make a 'subject access request' for yourself (£10 fee, I think) to your local force, which will pull up anything on you in the police database UK-wide.

I just write the approximate year and put a question mark after it. I'm on with my coterminous as we speak, and that's all I've ever done from day one.

A pity you can't put what I put on mine for motoring offences in 30 years

Fixed penalty notices need not be declared

The question is, is a speeding ticket a fixed penalty or a speeding conviction?

 

Fixed penalty notices need not be declared

I only put convictions down for last 5 years on renewal & wrote on application "see original application" had no bother at all!!ps123.

Thank you gentlemen. I'll wait see if Essex Plod(ders) reply to my email. They have close the phone lines this week due to the backlog of applications. A ridiculous situation.

I am in Essex and just put down the speeding conviction that still stands from a couple of years ago , didn't think they would be interested in points that have since been remove from my licence from another conviction 10 years ago.

When the FEO came round he mentioned the speeding conviction and the fact that someone had recently nicked my wife's car from outside the house, but didn't seem to need any further info.

Good luck with your renewal , my grant took ages to come through, contacting the PCC helped .

All the best.

My dad has just received his second section 7. His cert expired in February, so I know what a mess they are in.

Off in the post yesterday; Special Delivery, so they'll get it today. Let's see how long it takes to come through or how many S7's I can gather first.
