1772 - Suspension for nonpayment of judgments.

     § 1772.  Suspension for nonpayment of judgments.        (a)  General rule.--The department, upon receipt of a     certified copy of a judgment, shall suspend the operating     privilege of each person against whom the judgment was rendered     except as otherwise provided in this section and in section 1775     (relating to installment payment of judgments).        (b)  Nonsuspension with consent of judgment creditor.--If the     judgment creditor consents in writing, in such form as the     department may prescribe, that the judgment debtor's operating     privilege be retained or restored, the department shall not     suspend or shall restore until the consent is revoked in     writing, notwithstanding default in the payment of the judgment,     or of any installment thereof prescribed in section 1775,     provided the judgment debtor furnishes proof of financial     responsibility.        (c)  Financial responsibility in effect at time of     accident.--Any person whose operating privilege has been     suspended, or is about to be suspended or become subject to     suspension, under this chapter shall be relieved from the effect     of the judgment as prescribed in this chapter if the person     files evidence satisfactory to the department that financial     responsibility was in force and effect at the time of the     accident resulting in the judgment and is or should be available     for the satisfaction of the judgment. If insurance already     obtained is not available because the insurance company has gone     into receivership or bankruptcy, the person shall only be     required to present to or file with the department proper     evidence that an insurance policy was in force and effect at the     time of the accident.
