I have driving offences but have never been to court. Should I disclose these?

The view of KOD Lyons Solicitors, and certainly, many Practitioners is that if you have a fixed penalty notice or you’ve you’ve received a fixed penalty notice and a fine that it is worth disclosing those issues to the minister either in the cover letter or in the actual application itself because arguably it does go towards good character however it would be highly unlikely that the minister will use that against you.
