Driving without due care and attention is NOT a criminal offence and shouldn't show up on disclosure from a standard CRB check.

This is not correct. I don't have any knowledge about what will or will not show up on a CRB check, but Driving without due care and attention (or Careless Driving as it is also known) most certainly a criminal offence - unber Section 3 of the Rad Traffic Act 1988. It's not an imprisonable offence, but it is a criminal offence.

Yeah, I saw that.. There seems to be a lot of other sites suggesting otherwise, though..

This is a nightmare! Crazy that we're unable to get a firm yea or nay on this, isn't it?

Was yours an E-CRB or their own checks? i know if you work for the police they do their own checks as well, so if it's a high security play it might be more like SC that CRB..

I have other clearance too (higher than sc) but this was done seperately, though you could be right in that they done a tailored check

Correct.
If you are prosecuted by the CPS or where the police bring the prosecution it will be a criminal offence.
Where a lot of people get confused is with the difference between a criminal offence and a recordable offence.
A lot of motoring offences are classed as criminal, but only a few are recordable offences.

I had to apply for a basic disclosure only last week (£25 from here http://www.disclosurescotland.co.uk/ ).
Why not give them a phone call and see if they could give an answer.

It is correct that it is a criminal offence but it is not recordable.

So are recordable offences displayed on a Basic Disclosure / Subject Access Request?

If not, happy days. I'll cheerfully hand over my license and sling my hook back to my life in Asia.

If they do show then I might have some trouble obtaining a new visa in twelve months' time. Which would be a shame as the accident Iwas involved in was very much that; an accident.
