Doesnt matter when you pay the fine as it it will go back to the time you got the fine not when you pay it. If this is your first time, you'll lose it for 3 months. But a demerit point suspension letter has to be served upon you and then your licence is gone from then. I stopped a guy the other day with 19 points. He can still drive till the letter is served.
Extraordinary licence you ask for through the court system. Ask Hein
