Question

is Endorsements (eg fixed points ) on driving licence a criminal conviction?

Answer 1

Nope. When you are asked in a job application form you can answer no to 'Do you have any criminal convictions' for motoring offences that don't result in instant disqualification or a sentance (basically if you got 3 or 6 points for running a red light ot speeding then you are fine). Same goes for Visa applications. This is in the UK though, don't know about anywhere else.

Answer 2

Generally no, but it depends on what the points were for, speeding, red lights, defectove tyres and most ticket offences upto 3 points are no criminal conviction, even driving without due care & attention is not a criminal conviction, just driving matters. However if you are convictied of drink or drug driving, or causing death by dangerous or careless driving then there is a criminal conviction also which will result in a criminal record creation as well a disqualification, possibly jail and points on you licence

Answer 3

no, its not a criminal conviction ( points on your driving licence) for jumping a red traffic light or doing 40 in a 30mph zone.



Causing Death by dangerous driving and similiar offences will cause you problems
