334 - Suspension Waived Upon Payment of Judgment in Installments.

 334. Suspension  waived  upon  payment  of judgment in installments.
  (a) The commissioner shall not suspend a license or  registration  of  a
  motor  vehicle,  and shall restore any license or registration suspended
  following non-payment of a judgment,  when  the  judgment  debtor  gives
  proof  of  his  financial  responsibility  in  the future as hereinafter
  provided, and when the judgment debtor obtains an order from  the  court
  in  which  such  judgment  was  rendered, permitting the payment of such
  judgment in installments, and while the payment of any said  installment
  is not in default.
(b)  A judgment debtor upon five days' notice to the judgment creditor
  may apply to the court in which  such  judgment  was  obtained  for  the
  privilege  of paying such judgment in installments and the court, in its
  discretion and without prejudice to any other legal remedies  which  the
  judgment  creditor  may have, may so order, fixing the amounts and times
  of payment of the installments.
(c) In the event the judgment debtor fails to pay any  installment  as
  permitted  by  the  order of the court, then upon notice of such default
  the commissioner shall forthwith suspend the  license  and  registration
  certificates  and  registration plates of the judgment debtor until such
  judgment is satisfied as provided in this article.
(d) Provided, however, if the judgment creditor consents  in  writing,
  in such form as the commissioner may prescribe, that the judgment debtor
  be  allowed  license  and  registration  the  same may be allowed by the
  commissioner, in his discretion, notwithstanding default in the  payment
  of such judgment or of any installments thereof, for six months from the
  date  of  such  consent  and thereafter until such consent is revoked in
  writing, if  the  judgment  debtor  furnishes  proof  of  his  financial
  responsibility in the future as hereinafter provided.
