Just for the fun of it (might have a visit to the USA) filled in the ESTA for $14 I presume my application for the ESTA would check any criminal violations I may have in the UK seconds later after payment process I got my Application number and the expiration date.
Following the "moral turpitude" link I find my offence (right hand column, headings) on the wilki site 'drunk' driving does not constitute a offence under 'moral turpitude' Although my offence was failing to supply a breath sample. So I presume I'd be AOK for the visa waiver on flight to the US.
If not why? What's the point of the ESTA? If not to check out future visitors to the US.
