BTW when a poster descends to personal abuse, that is usually a sign that they have run out of logical arguments.
I am not descending to personal abuse, but simply making the point that for someone who is legally qualified such as you clearly are should know better, but it is not the first time you have made factual inaccurate statements.
For the last time, the majority of offences are not criminal offences, but they are recorded (hence points on the licence) and motoring offences that are not recorded (in other words do not result in points) are not offences committed under the road traffic act, they are usually breaches of a local order or bylaw, such as for example, parking.
So a criminal offence is not committed, a traffic offence or moving traffic offence is committed, but in any case, when it comes to a caution as laid out in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, it is in most cases spent after 30 months, and does not include any fixed penalty notice or disorder offence.
The simple way to look at this is that if you commit a motoring offence, again with the odd exception, your name will not come up on any CRB checks, and in the main you do not have to disclose conviction of these offences.
To be classified as a crime, the act of doing something bad (actus reus) must be usually accompanied by the intention to do something bad (mens rea), with certain exceptions. In 99% of traffic cases there is no intent, simply the act which is usually as a result of a drop in concentration or similar, and most traffic cases are dealt with ny way of fixed penalty of by summary justice rather than being indictable which is also the indication of a criminal offence.
