The most important thing about applying for clearance is that you tell the truth. If you have a driving offence and you dont disclose it, they will find out and your clearance will probably be rejected. Not because of the offence but because you have not mentioned it and they dont want to take the risk of anything else you have "forgotten" to mention

I seem to recall something similar in the RAF, but maybe I'm wrong.

WageSlave1: Don't be silly, she could be ex-KGB, as long as she is not French you are OK. They will interview some people, some interviews are formal, some don't realise they are being interviewed...Comment
