Dangerous Driving

[Kaveh96]

I have been disqualified from driving in the past by the virtue of dangerous driving (excessive speeds). Is this a driving offense or a criminal offense and if so is it going to affect the criminal check prior to being issued with a visa.

I'm a UK citizen.

Thanks for your help
