        321A.13  SUSPENSION FOR NONPAYMENT OF JUDGMENTS --      EXCEPTIONS.         1.  The department upon receipt of a certified copy of a judgment,      shall forthwith suspend the license and registration and any      nonresident's operating privilege of any person against whom such      judgment was rendered, except as hereinafter otherwise provided in      this section and in section 321A.16.         2.  If the judgment creditor consents in writing, in such form as      the department may prescribe, that the judgment debtor be allowed      license and registration or nonresident's operating privilege, the      same may be allowed by the department, in the department's      discretion, for six months from the date of such consent and      thereafter until such consent is revoked in writing, notwithstanding      default in the payment of such judgment, or of any installments      thereof prescribed in section 321A.16, provided the judgment debtor      furnishes proof of financial responsibility.         3.  Any person whose license, registration, or nonresident's      operating privilege has been suspended or is about to be suspended or      shall become subject to suspension under the provisions of sections      321A.12 to 321A.29 may be relieved from the effect of such judgment      as hereinbefore prescribed in said sections by filing with the      department an affidavit stating that at the time of the accident upon      which such judgment has been rendered the affiant was insured, that      the insurer is liable to pay such judgment, and the reason, if known,      why such insurance company has not paid such judgment.  Such a person      shall also file the original policy of insurance or a certified copy      thereof, if available, and such other documents as the department may      require to show that the loss, injury, or damage for which such      judgment was rendered, was covered by such policy of insurance.  If      the department is satisfied from such papers that such insurer was      authorized to issue such policy of insurance at the time and place of      issuing such policy and that such insurer is liable to pay such      judgment, at least to the extent and for the amounts required in this      chapter, the department shall not suspend such license or      registration or nonresident's operating privilege, or if already      suspended shall reinstate them.
