That in interesting - so a cyclist can be summoned for breaking the red lights? The way "almost" every cyclist does it, you will assume that is part of the rule of the road when cyclingjambalap wrote:I got court summons for breaking red light while cycling. If I plead guilty then will I have a record as traffic offence?Is this to be declared when filling citizenship application which asks have you committed traffic offence?.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CONVICTIONS IN THE STATE OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY (INCLUDING TRAFFIC OFFENCES) OR ANY CIVIL JUDGEMENTS MADE AGAINST YOU?
I don't know how to answer the above question
P.S. I never drawn garda attention before in this state or any where else and no offences no traafic offences until the cycle thing happened
The application also asks if you are aware of any PENDING civil or criminal law cases in Court.adlexy wrote:That in interesting - so a cyclist can be summoned for breaking the red lights?

Meanwhile, back to the question.
A tough one you have but, you have not been convicted yet, just a summon.
If you are making an application NOW, you cannot claim to be a convict - that is not true.
So technically, you cannot put yes there.
But if you have to wait until you go through the courts, obviously, whatever the outcome will be information you supply in your form - truthfully.
If you get fined, you are convicted. Fine only concerns a sentence for the offence one is convicted. You may get probation instead.jambalap wrote:Does any one know good lawyer who can represent me in this case . I heard if Lawyer informs about the situation the court may not convict but fine me to the court poor box or any charity
It is still an offence. People are getting very sick of the disregard (have a look at the papers, letters to editors as an example) some cyclists can have for the roads. About time people are getting the book thrown at themIrisheddy wrote:I read elsewhere on this forum about an Indian doctor who was turned down for citizenship for the exact same offence. It does seem unfair when you consider how common it is and how the guards turn a blind eye to it even when it is blatantly done in front of them.
I actually thought the official policy was to ignore it unless the cyclist was cycling dangerously.
