markyboy 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 i got in bother a few years back and got chucked in the cells and got a letter through that i had to sign that i was guilty to save a court apperance. but that was [bANNED TEXT] i was young and daft. and didnt put it on my application 4 years ago. bad mistake i had 2 policemen at my house within a week of applying to ask what i was tring to hide. my advise just put anything down that you think might prevent you getting licence including any driving offences. that way the police will look at you as being honest and not trying to hide anything from them Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Any cautions, convictions for any offense, including motoring offenses need to be put there. Being arrested, as has been said does not mean you are guilty of anything, but its still on your record that you were arrested on such and such a date for suspicion of such and such an offense. Put them all there and they cannot argue. Quote Link to post
