I'm in the process of getting a criminal records check done here in the U.K.

Last October I broke the speed limit, I had to pay a fine and got 3 penalty points on my drivers licence, these points will be wiped off after 3 years.

It was my first 'crime' in my life, the first traffic offence in 16 years of driving Rolling Eyes
If this shows up on my criminal records check will it affect my offer of employment in South Korea?

I know this sounds a bit silly, it's a minor traffic offence, and has nothing to do with working with children, but I'd like to know if anybody knows whether my speeding offence will affect my prospects of starting the new job.

Thank you for your help. Smile

As above.

Motoring offences are not criminal offences.

Thank you.

I wasn't 100% sure myself!

^Unless of course you drive around with a body in the boot.

Oh c'mon now, I'd never have a body in the boot of my car, what do you think I am ?!!! (phew! it's a good job I put that corpse under my bed, I hope nobody else can hear what I'm thinking) Laughing

For all law enforcement agencies reading this thread, that was a joke, I am the only corpse that I know of! Laughing

Too late. We already have issued an arrest warrant on you. Wink

You can have a maximum of five DWI offenses in Korea.
