§ 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.
