Can anyone give any sources of evidence that proves it ?

I'm in the Uk and as far as I have seen it is argued that a speeding fine is a criminal conviction

It is a misdemeanor traffic conviction if you plead guilty by paying the fine or are found guilty when you try to beat it at trial.

just face the fact that it is not a criminal conviction it is a breach of the road traffic act just like nearly all motoring convictions. the criteria for a criminal conviction is can you go to prison for the offence if you can then it becomes a criminal conviction.
so simply put if the offence you commit is not punishable by imprisoment when to commit it then it cannot be a criminal offence all rather clear to me and straightforward
look in archbolds for the legal definition or stones

Traffic violations can lead to Felony convictions as well....Many times people get the driving privileges suspended due to too many points or unpaid citations (speeding), then they get caught driving while suspended. In some cases you may become an HTV--Habitual Traffic Offender...then you do Fed time! Just drive the speed limit and obey the traffic laws.

Most enforcement is little more than a revenue collecting exercises. The law itself is discredited because most people one way or another do not abide by it. In a democracy it is law by consent. i would there say that if all drivers are ignoring the speed limit there is no consent and the law is an illegal imposition.
I don't think the Courts would agree with me though .

Has to be a criminal offence. Is the car/or any vehicle not an engine for destruction?How many cases of hit and run ( leaving somebody dead behind)have been recorded for the past decades in the world?Could such be not guessed as perfect crimes?And there are cases of many killed by cars on the land and corpses dubbed in the oceans ( among the rich ones)!
And without speed you cannot kill -only hurt badly!

Speeding is not a crime, it is an offence.
So therefore it is not a criminal conviction, but merely a conviction.

What a load of old tosh.
There are only two types of offence - civil and criminal.
For the former you go to county court to be sued, and for the latter you go to magistrates court to be prosecuted.
A speeding offence comes under the latter. (If you read a fixed-penalty notice, you'll see it says "If you pay the fine we won't prosecute you".)
