Security Clearance and Motoring Conviction

[OwlHoot]

I've never had a problem. And I've had loooots of points..

Yes, in Spooks the MI5 officers always managed to drive right across London in about ten minutes. So they must have been clocking up points all over the place!

OP. You need to help yourself a little bit. A few seconds looking in General would tell you this isn't the place to ask. Even the subtitle of the section should tell you.

You you looked around the Business / Contracts section you'll find a very very long thread sticked at the top called 'Security Clearance (SC) Q&A Read first before asking questions'

It's long but the same generic question of 'Will xxx affect my SC clearance' and the answer is always the same. We don't know. Wouldn't be a very secret process if we knew. Apply, tell them the truth and see what happens.

Lot more detail around it in there so go have a read.

Thanks for reply Lance.

I am going to get points from court, will that be a problem.

I was on 6, got another 6 in court. No ban. That was around 2001/2 - 1st SC clearance came just after 5 years later mind, but I declared it.

You're not going to know till you try so just do it and tell them everything.

National security. You REALLY think they might think they're vulnerable because you're an idiot who doesn't know how to read speed limits? Be open and honest. They already know you're a moron - your technical skills excepted.
