You're right, it is a suspension, and no stand-down applies.

Does anyone know the exact timing of when the demerits count from? If I take the full 28days to pay the fine, will that mean the demerits won't be added till after the first 50 have gone past the 2 years? What is the sequence of events from here on? Moved here from the UK 3 years ago, so don't know the system that well, in the UK, a court appearance would be required at this point. Knowing the practical, efficient 'kiwi way' I'm guessing it's all done automatically here!

i just been on the phone to them this morning r;e similar thing they told me its the date of the ticket
