Question about losing all license points from speeding tickets - Australia...?
|
Question for Aussies who know the law.
Okay, long story. I only have two points left on my license because of four speeding tickets I've had in the last few years. Yesterday, in the mail, I got another ticket on which I lost three more points. This takes my total to minus one, but that shouldn't come into effect until after I pay the fine, as far as I know.
So, I have a few questions:
1. Is it right that the points won't be actually lost until the fine is paid? I'm fairly sure, but is anyone 100% certain?
2. Can I pay extra and just use my license for work? I've heard that people who have been caught for DUI can do this, so does it also apply to speeding fines?
3. If I get a license that will enable me to go to and from work, will it also enable me to drive while I'm at work? A small part of my job will involve driving people around to different places.
4. I found a bit later on the Legal Aid website that the Dept. of Transport write to people who use up all their points, and offer them either a 3 mth suspension OR a 1 yr good behaviour period. Here's the website:
http://www.legalaid.qld.gov.au/Legal+Inf...
It seems that it's okay to drive until I get the letter from the Dept. of Transport. Is that correct? Anyone know for sure?
Thanks for any advice/info.!

mate, if you don't pay your fine you'll become sper suspended regardless of how many points you have, you will then be fined for driving on a suspended licience, and trust me, they are now cracking down on this, to the extent that they are required to impound your car. best advise, get a lawyer, and go to court. to my knowledge there is no such thing as a work licience anymore which used to be you could drive to and from work, if you can show that you require your car for working purposes, ie you don't have it you lose your job, they will offer you a 1year good behavior licience, but be warned, with your track record so far, id go for the quick option. |
