Revocation of license; notice; failure to return license; procedure; penalty; appeal; effect.
Within ten days after the revocation provided for by section 60-4,183, the director shall notify in writing the person whose operator's license has been revoked that such license has been revoked. Such notice shall:
(1) Contain a list of the convictions for violations upon which the director relies as his or her authority for the revocation, with the dates of such violations upon which convictions were had and the dates of such convictions, the trial courts in which such judgments of conviction were rendered, and the points charged for each conviction;
(2) State the term of such revocation;
(3) Include a demand that the license be returned to the director immediately; and
(4) Be served by mailing it to such person by regular United States mail to the last-known residence of such person or, if such address is unknown, to the last-known business address of such person.
If any person fails to return his or her license to the director as demanded, the director shall immediately direct any peace officer or authorized representative of the director to secure possession of such license and return the license to the director. A refusal to surrender an operator's license on demand shall be unlawful, and any person failing to surrender his or her license as required by this section shall be guilty of a Class III misdemeanor.
Any person who feels aggrieved because of such revocation may appeal from such revocation in the manner set forth in section 60-4,105. Such appeal shall not suspend the order of revocation of such license unless a stay of such order is allowed by a judge of such court pending a final determination of the review. The license of any person claiming to be aggrieved shall not be restored to such person, in the event the final judgment of a court finds against such person, until the full time of revocation, as fixed by the Department of Motor Vehicles, has elapsed.

The gravamen of or the misconduct prohibited by section 60-418 (transferred to section 60-4,107) and this section is operation of a motor vehicle after judicial or administrative deprivation of the operator's privilege or license to operate a motor vehicle on the public highways of the State of Nebraska. Although the terms suspension and revocation were used interchangeably in this case, such misuse did not arise to the stature of sufficient prejudice to warrant reversal of judgment. State v. Jost, 219 Neb. 162, 361 N.W.2d 526 (1985).
At expiration of period of revocation or suspension of license, operator of motor vehicle must give and maintain proof of financial responsibility. State v. Smith, 181 Neb. 846, 152 N.W.2d 16 (1967).

Any person who has fewer than twelve points assessed against his or her driving record under section 60-4,182 may voluntarily enroll in a driver improvement course approved by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Upon notification of successful completion of such a course by the conducting organization, the department shall reduce by two the number of points assessed against such person's driving record within the previous two years. This section shall only apply to persons who have successfully completed such driver improvement course prior to committing any traffic offense for which a conviction and point assessment against their driving record would otherwise result in a total of twelve or more points assessed against their record. No person required to enroll in a driver improvement course pursuant to section 60-4,130, 60-4,130.03, or 60-4,183 shall be eligible for a reduction in points assessed against his or her driving record upon the successful completion of such course.

Such reduction shall be allowed only once within a five-year period. Notification of completion of an approved driver improvement course shall be sent to the department, upon successful completion thereof, by the conducting organization. Such course shall consist of at least four hours of instruction and shall follow such other guidelines as are established by the department.

On appeal, the burden of proof is on the licensee to establish the invalidity of an order revoking the licensee's motor vehicle operator's license. On appeal, the district court is required to consider the entire record made before the Director of Motor Vehicles and the record is, therefore, admissible in the district court. Wroblewski v. Pearson, 210 Neb. 82, 313 N.W.2d 231 (1981).
In a hearing under this section, the court may consider as evidence the documents considered by the agency under the terms of section 60-507(3). In a hearing under this section, one whose license was revoked by the director has the burden of showing that the revocation was unreasonable. Hehn v. State, 206 Neb. 34, 290 N.W.2d 813 (1980).

(1) Such person shall deposit and file or there shall be deposited and filed on his or her behalf the security and proof required under this section and section 60-507;
(2) A supersedeas bond is filed and approved to insure payment of any judgment recovered against such person in a court of competent jurisdiction arising out of the accident on account of which such license and registration was suspended and such person files proof of financial responsibility;

Compliance with law; person with no license or registration; nonresident; resident with accident occurring in other state.
(1) In case the operator or the owner of a motor vehicle involved in an accident within this state has no license or registration, such operator or owner shall not be allowed a license or registration until he or she has complied with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Act to the same extent that would be necessary if, at the time of the accident, he or she had held a license and registration.
(2) When a nonresident's operating privilege is suspended pursuant to section 60-507 or 60-511, the department shall transmit a certified copy of the record of such action to the official in charge of the issuance of licenses and registration certificates in the state in which such nonresident resides, if the law of such other state provides for action in relation thereto similar to that provided for in subsection (3) of this section.
(3) Upon receipt of certification that the operating privilege of a resident of this state has been suspended or revoked in any other state pursuant to a law providing for its suspension or revocation for failure to deposit security for the payment of judgments arising out of a motor vehicle accident, or for failure to deposit both security and proof of financial responsibility, under circumstances which would require the department to suspend a nonresident's operating privilege had the accident occurred in this state, the department shall suspend the license and registrations of such resident. Such suspension shall continue until such resident furnishes evidence of compliance with the law of the other state relating to the deposit of security and until such resident files proof of financial responsibility if required by the law of the other state.
