I was very nervous because i had an FPN for speeding (one in last 12 months) and another FPN for speeding and congestion charge penalty prior to that. (none of them were convictions and not from court). I mentioned all of them on Page-15. Thank god finally it came through. I am mentioning them here so that it would be helpful to others who are into same situation like me. All the best and good luck.
