Patsy,
I think this topic was covered about a year ago..somebody asked the same question...and it turned out that loads of people had a penalty mostly for speeding (including me).
However,I have sent applications in for a few sponsorships and it has never caused a problem.
One opinion says that a speeding ticket might be viewed positively as you're trying to get somewhere...or something like that..but I don't know...
GJB...good luck mate..fingers crossed for you mate..
