Conveyancing Brisbane

Question for Aussies who know the law. (I’ve tried asking this question in all the obvious categories, and got no real answers to my q’s, so thought I’d try this category).
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:

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.!
Thank you for your useful reply, syzygy. It helps me a great deal, but my question was actually directed to Australians who know the law. I have been driving for over 25 yrs without having an accident, and no-one with any brains believes that speeding causes accidents.
Hopefully I’ll get some replies that actually answer my question/s.

My husband’s ex tried to take out a protection order. The evidence she used was actually forged so the case was dropped. However unbeknown to us, she went to see a Dr, the Dr was physicatrist, My husband’s ex was seeing her about 14yrs ago. The Dr actually wrote a letter to the courts trying to get them to enforce the order stating that my husband was sexually abusing and was stalking and harassing his ex. We knew of this letter when it was sent to us via the child support agency, my husbands ex sent it to them use as evidence to show my husband was unstable. As my husband had not seen the Dr, we hired a solicitor to write and ask why the Dr wrote the letter, her reply was I made a mistake and it was actually somebody else I was referring to. We have paid all our solicitor fees for the letters, not to say the embarassment this has caused, nobody has asked the ex to give the letter back, nobody has done anything

Me and my ex are no longer together. On good will, i signed our childrens passports, so they can go to NZ providing i get to see my kids. My ex rung me to say i can no longer see my kids and she is in a new relationship and our children have a new dad and my kids are now calling me by my name and call there step dad, Dad. I said to her, you can’t stop me from seeing my children.Her reply was she would have me shot. I believed her before i signed the passports, she wasn’t gonna stop me from seeing our children. I guess i was taken for a fool. I miss my children so much. It has interfere with my work and how i function for the day. I can’t sleep at night because of this. I spoke to my son and he called me by my name and said i have a new Dad now. They haven’t been in NZ for more than 2 months. This was my ex plan from day one to cut me out all together. I went to see a Solicitor to see what i can do. They told me i need ,000 to get a court order to get my children.I don’t have that.

i need to remind a goverment department of their responsibility. i dont want to hire a solicitor as it would cost a lot and i know the department would change its tune once they realized i’m willing to take legal action. i’m willing to pay for the process to begin but how do i go about.
dont bother suggesting another goverment department either. people who know what their talking reply only please. THANKS
