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.

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'
https://forums.contractoruk.com/busi...questions.html
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.

The reality is that it all depends on what the vetting people see as a risk for the particular role they are trying to fill. So you simply cannot make general assumptions about any one aspect of our past behaviour.
And, FWIW, I thought the "tell them" answer was possibly less than helpful to someone who clearly did not really understand the process.

The above line says 6 penalty points within the last 5 years (for offences on different dates) what does it actually mean. Does it mean if i get 6 point on a single date I am good and doesnt fall under mandatory rejection.
A motoring offence is too trivial to fail that test. Not telling them is not. There is no such thing as a mandatory rejection, not least because this all done by regulations and good practice, not laws, but also because if it were then people would be able to game the system which is deliberately kept opaque by those who have been through it.
As an aside, if you gain clearance and then get pinged for speeding again, or anything else, tell your local security team, for exactly the same reasons.

Security Clearance and Motoring Conviction
Hi all,
I am due to apply for SC clearance and got a question related to motoring conviction.
I was stupidly speeding on motor way when variable speed limit was in action, i was doing 76 on 50 area. I received a letter from force that my case will be heard at magistrate court. I will plead guilty. I have a clean license for last 10 years and this is my first offence.
Reading some the requirements on good character i came across this on Mandatory Rejection of SC
'More than 3 endorsable traffic convictions (including fixed penalties) and/or 6 penalty points, within the last 5 years (for offences on different dates)'
I will get 6 points and fine as my speed limit falls under Band C.
The above line says 6 penalty points within the last 5 years (for offences on different dates) what does it actually mean. Does it mean if i get 6 point on a single date I am good and doesnt fall under mandatory rejection.
