        321.210  SUSPENSION.
         1.  The department is authorized to establish rules providing for
      the suspension of the license of an operator upon thirty days' notice
      and without preliminary hearing upon a showing by its records or
      other sufficient evidence that the licensee:
         a.  Is an habitually reckless or negligent driver of a motor
      vehicle.
         b.  Is an habitual violator of the traffic laws.
         c.  Is physically or mentally incapable of safely operating a
      motor vehicle.
         d.  Has permitted an unlawful or fraudulent use of the
      license.
         e.  Has committed an offense or acted in a manner in another
      state or foreign jurisdiction which in this state would be grounds
      for suspension or revocation.
         f.  Has committed a serious violation of the motor vehicle
      laws of this state.
         g.  Is subject to a license suspension under section 321.513.

         Prior to a suspension taking effect under paragraph "a",
      "b", "c", "d", "e", or "f", the licensee shall
      have received thirty days' advance notice of the effective date of
      the suspension.  Notwithstanding the terms of the Iowa administrative
      procedure Act, chapter 17A, the filing of a petition for judicial
      review shall, except for suspensions under paragraph "c", operate
      to stay the suspension pending the determination by the district
      court.
         2.  In determining suspension the department shall not consider
      the following:
         a.  Violation of motor vehicle equipment standards if repairs
      are made within seventy-two hours of the violation and satisfactory
      evidence of repair is immediately sent to the department.
         b.  Violations of requirements to install and use safety
      belts, safety harnesses, and child restraint devices under sections
      321.445 and 321.446.
         c.  Parking violations, meaning violation of a local authority
      parking ordinance or violation of sections 321L.4, 321.366,
      subsection 6, and 321.354 through 321.361 except section 321.354,
      subsection 1.
         d.  The first two speeding violations within any twelve- month
      period of ten miles per hour or less over the legal speed limit in
      speed zones having a legal speed limit between thirty-four miles per
      hour and fifty-six miles per hour.
