Originally posted by AtWYes, but mundane stuff like fixed penalty for speeding that you may have received 10 years ago is not exactly the kind of thing you will remember: if they want to check if you are a liar then they should use polygraph test.
A *lot* of forms now use wording to the effect of whether you should include or exclude fixed penalties.
You also mentioned insurance. They generally ask the question "have you ever been convicted of an offence ......". Here you can legitimately answer NO provided the conviction is spent under the terms of the rehabilitation of offenders act.Comment

Fair enough - they must have faced having so many people declaring speed tickets that even on citizenship application they say you don't need to state it so long as you have fixed penalty rather than court decision, funny that their call center said it is best to still put them on app, so I did
IMO small scale speeding should not be a criminal offence, in fact any offence that does not carry prison sentence should be de-criminalised: lots of people use recreational drugs that are illegal, yet they have to declare speeding ticket, that ain't rightComment

There was a bloke on the telly a couple of months ago that made an interesting point about these CRB checks and having to admit to spent offenses.
Can’t quote him but his point was: during the course of many people’s lives they make mistakes, especially when young. Most get their lives back on track. We are also expected to work longer and the government want to get more people off benefits and into work. So why are they making it more difficult to get a job? The last thing someone in his forties needs, with all the other thing acting against him, is to be turned down for not admitting to being done for drug possession as a student or a fight they got into as a youngster.
This is just more examples of stupid people getting too risk adverse. They are more worried about their own careers than any threat someone is or the effect on their lives.Drivel is my specialityComment
