16004
. (a) The department shall suspend the driving privilege of
any person who fails, refuses, or neglects to make a report of an
accident as required in this chapter.
(b) A suspension taken under this section shall remain in effect
until terminated by receipt of the report of the accident or upon
receipt of evidence that financial responsibility as provided in
Section 16021 is in effect.
(c) The driving privilege shall not be suspended under this
section, and, if a suspension has been imposed and is in effect under
this section, that suspension shall be terminated, if the driving
privilege is suspended under Section 16370 or 16381 as the result of
a judgment arising out of the same accident for which the report of
the accident is required by this section. The department may suspend
or reimpose the suspension of the driving privilege of a person under
this section if the suspension under Section 16370 or 16381 is later
set aside for a reason other than that the person has satisfied the
judgment in full or to the extent provided in Chapter 2 (commencing
with Section 16250) and has given proof of financial responsibility,
as provided in Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 16430).
