(a) The Department, not less than twenty (20) days after receipt of a
report of an accident as described in the preceding section, shall
determine the amount of security which shall be sufficient in its
judgment to satisfy any judgment or judgments for damages resulting

property within fifty (50) days after the accident and the Department
does not have sufficient information on which to base an evaluation of
such injuries or damage, then the Department after reasonable notice
to such person, if it is possible to give such notice, otherwise
without such notice, shall not require any deposit of security for the
benefit or protection of such person.
(c) The Department not less than fifty (50) days after receipt of
report of any accident referred to herein and upon determining the
amount of security to be required of any person involved in such
