24(d) Suspension of registration and operating privilege.--

25(1) The Department of Transportation shall suspend the
26registration of a vehicle for a period of three months if it
27determines the required financial responsibility was not
28secured as required by this chapter and shall suspend the
29operating privilege of the owner or registrant for a period
30of three months if the department determines that the owner

1or registrant has operated or permitted the operation of the
2vehicle without the required financial responsibility. The
3operating privilege shall not be restored until the
4restoration fee for operating privilege provided by section
51960 (relating to reinstatement of operating privilege or
6vehicle registration) is paid.

7(1.1)  In lieu of serving a registration suspension
8imposed under this section, an owner or registrant may pay to
9the department a civil penalty of $500, the restoration fee
10prescribed under section 1960 and furnish proof of financial
11responsibility in a manner determined by the department. An
12owner or registrant may exercise this option no more than
13once in a 12-month period.

14(2) Whenever the department revokes or suspends the
15registration of any vehicle under this chapter, the
16department shall not restore or transfer the registration
17until the suspension has been served or the civil penalty has 
18been paid to the department and the vehicle owner furnishes
19proof of financial responsibility in a manner determined by
20the department and submits an application for registration to
21the department, accompanied by the fee for restoration of
22registration provided by section 1960. This subsection shall
23not apply in the following circumstances:

24(i) The owner or registrant proves to the
25satisfaction of the department that the lapse in
26financial responsibility coverage was for a period of
27less than 31 days and that the owner or registrant did
28not operate or permit the operation of the vehicle during
29the period of lapse in financial responsibility.

30(ii) The owner or registrant is a member of the

1armed services of the United States, the owner or
2registrant has previously had the financial
3responsibility required by this chapter, financial
4responsibility had lapsed while the owner or registrant
5was on temporary, emergency duty and the vehicle was not
6operated during the period of lapse in financial
7responsibility. The exemption granted by this paragraph
8shall continue for 30 days after the owner or registrant
9returns from duty as long as the vehicle is not operated
10until the required financial responsibility has been
11established.

12(iii) The insurance coverage has terminated or
13financial responsibility has lapsed simultaneously with
14or subsequent to expiration of a seasonal registration,
15as provided in section 1307(a.1) (relating to period of
16registration).

17(3) An owner whose vehicle registration has been
18suspended under this subsection shall have the same right of
19appeal under section 1377 (relating to judicial review) as
20provided for in cases of the suspension of vehicle
21registration for other purposes. The filing of the appeal
22shall act as a supersedeas, and the suspension shall not be
23imposed until determination of the matter as provided in
24section 1377. The court's scope of review in an appeal from a
25vehicle registration suspension shall be limited to
26determining whether:

27(i) the vehicle is registered or of a type that is
28required to be registered under this title; and

29(ii) there has been either notice to the department
30of a lapse, termination or cancellation in the financial

1responsibility coverage as required by law for that
2vehicle or that the owner, registrant or driver was
3requested to provide proof of financial responsibility to
4the department, a police officer or another driver and
5failed to do so. Notice to the department of the lapse,
6termination or cancellation or the failure to provide the
7requested proof of financial responsibility shall create
8a presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
9financial responsibility. This presumption may be
10overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that
11the vehicle was insured at all relevant times.

12(4) Where an owner or registrant's operating privilege
13has been suspended under this subsection, the owner or
14registrant shall have the same right of appeal under section
151550 (relating to judicial review) as provided for in cases
16of suspension for other reason. The court's scope of review
17in an appeal from an operating privilege suspension shall be
18limited to determining whether:

19(i) the vehicle was registered or of a type required
20to be registered under this title; and

21(ii) the owner or registrant operated or permitted
22the operation of the same vehicle when it was not covered
23by financial responsibility. The fact that an owner,
24registrant or operator of the motor vehicle failed to
25provide competent evidence of insurance or the fact that
26the department received notice of a lapse, termination or
27cancellation of insurance for the vehicle shall create a
28presumption that the vehicle lacked the requisite
29financial responsibility. This presumption may be
30overcome by producing clear and convincing evidence that

1the vehicle was insured at the time that it was driven.

2(5) An alleged lapse, cancellation or termination of a
3policy of insurance by an insurer may only be challenged by
4requesting review by the Insurance Commissioner pursuant to
5Article XX of the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284),
6known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921. Proof that a
7timely request has been made to the Insurance Commissioner
8for such a review shall act as a supersedeas, staying the
9suspension of registration or operating privilege under this
10section pending a determination pursuant to section 2009(a)
11of The Insurance Company Law of 1921 or, in the event that
12further review at a hearing is requested by either party, a
13final order pursuant to section 2009(i) of The Insurance
14Company Law of 1921.

15(6)  The civil penalty collected under paragraph (1.1)
16shall be deposited into the Public Transportation Trust Fund.
