Makes quite a difference
- If it applies from the day you pay the fine or lose in court then its quite smart to pay quickly as long as you wont lose your licence.
Then, if you get another ticket, your existing points will be closer to expiry.
If your new ticket would put you into loss of licence country, get your lawyer to drag the process out - you may be able to wriggle out of the existing points. ??
That was what I was lead to believe at least. But as Dschubba wrote it may not work like that anymore.
In the good old days the demerits were registred when you had paid all of your fine. E.g. if you were paying 140 bucks off by 10 bucks a week it would be 14 weeks from you lost in court 'til you got the demerits.
Perhaps they have fixed this "bug" - but I wouldn't know, I haven't been down that road... yet.
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
