        321A.7  DURATION OF SUSPENSION.         If a person's license and registration or nonresident's operating      privilege has been suspended as provided in section 321A.5, that      license and registration or privilege shall remain suspended and      shall not be renewed and a new license or registration shall not be      issued to that person until one of the following has occurred:         1.  The person deposits, or there is deposited on the person's      behalf, the security required under section 321A.5.         2.  Twelve months have elapsed after such accident and the      department has not been notified by any party to the action or an      attorney for any party that an action for damages arising out of such      accident has been instituted within one year from the date of the      accident.         3.  Evidence satisfactory to the department has been filed with      the department of a release from liability, or a final adjudication      of nonliability, or a warrant for confession of judgment, or a duly      acknowledged written agreement, in accordance with section 321A.6,      subsection 4.  If, however, there is any default in the payment of      any installment under any confession of judgment, then, upon notice      of such default, the department shall immediately suspend the license      and registration or nonresident's operating privilege of such person      defaulting which shall not be restored unless and until the entire      amount provided for in said confession of judgment has been paid.  In      addition, if there is any default in the payment of any installment      under any duly acknowledged written agreement, then, upon notice of      such default, the department shall immediately suspend the license      and registration or nonresident's operating privilege of that person      defaulting and the license and registration or nonresident's      operating privilege shall not be restored unless and until one of the      following occurs:         a.  Such person deposits and thereafter maintains security as      required under section 321A.5 in such amount as the department may      then determine.         b.  Twelve months have elapsed after such security was      required and the department has not been notified by any party to the      action or an attorney for any party that an action upon such an      agreement has been instituted in a court in this state within one      year after such security was required.
