Hi jayson king, & welcome to Legal Beagles.

As from UKBA, it's now 3 years for a non-custodial offence.*

Other factors are also looked at, such as debts, tax liabilities, etc.

It's known as a 'Good Character' assessment.

*If a suspended sentence was imposed, this may well be treated the same as a custodial sentence.
An ASBO won't be counted, but breach of the ASBO will be a factor.

I wasn't posting to be horrid to the original poster, and if he's offended I apologise, but its just how I feel about this country now.

The OP while driving no doubt was no doubt uninsured if they had killed someone while driving I would bet they would have run back to the country they come from if you want to live here you have to respect the laws if that's offensive im not sorry

I know someone in a similar situation who had a drunk driving conviction and had to wait for 3 years. He did get his British passport in the end.

Indeed, Mr King. You will need to adapt to the British sense of humour (mostly anal) - as well. And perhaps stop smoking those extravagantly packaged fags !!! We're all on roll-ups, these days...
