§47-7-202.
   
   (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
   from such accident as may be recovered against each driver or owner.
   Such determination shall not be made with respect to drivers or owners
   who are exempt under succeeding sections of this chapter from the
   requirements as to security and suspension.
   
   (b) The Department shall determine the amount of security deposit
   required of any person upon the basis of the reports or other
   information submitted. In the event a person involved in an accident
   as described in this chapter fails to make a report or submit
   information indicating the extent of his injuries or the damage to his
   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
   accident or to be required of the owner of any vehicle involved in
   such accident shall give written notice pursuant to the provisions of
   Section 2-116 of this title to every such person of the amount of
   security required to be deposited by him and that an order of
   suspension will be made to become effective upon the expiration of ten
   (10) days after the sending of such notice unless within said time
   security be deposited as required by said notice.
