(c) Evidence satisfactory to the Department has been filed with it of a release from liability, or a final adjudication of nonliability, or an acknowledged written agreement, in accordance with NRS 485.190.

2. Upon any default in the payment of any installment under any acknowledged written agreement, and upon notice of the default, the Department shall suspend the license and all registrations or the nonresident's operating privilege of the person defaulting, which may not be restored until:

(a) The person deposits and thereafter maintains security as required under NRS 485.190 in such an amount as the Department may then determine; or

(b) One year has elapsed following the date of default, or 2 years following the date of the crash, whichever is greater, and during that period no action upon the agreement has been instituted in a court in this State.
