Appear in court and obtain a dismissal of the citation or complaint as provided by law;

(b)

Appear in court and, if permitted by the court, make an arrangement acceptable to the court to satisfy a judgment of conviction; or

(c)

If notified by a court, within 30 days after the notice of a failure to appear, that a driver has been allowed to make an arrangement for the satisfaction of a judgment of conviction, the Department shall remove the suspension from the driver’s record. If the driver subsequently defaults on the arrangement with the court, the court shall notify the Department which shall immediately suspend the driver’s license until the court notifies the Department that the suspension may be removed.

4.

The Department shall suspend the license of a driver 31 days after it mails the notice provided for in subsection 2 to the driver, unless within that time it has received a written request for a hearing from the driver or notice from the court on a form approved by the Department that the driver has appeared or the citation or complaint has been dismissed. A license so suspended remains suspended until further notice is received from the court that the driver has appeared or that the case has been otherwise disposed of as provided by law.
