§47-7-213.
   
   (a) In case the driver or the owner of a vehicle of a type subject to
   registration under the laws of this state involved in an accident
   within this state has no license or registration in this state, then
   such driver shall not be allowed a license, nor shall such owner be
   allowed to register any vehicle in this state, until he has complied
   with the requirements of this chapter to the same extent that would be
   necessary if, at the time of the accident, he had held a license or
   been the owner of a vehicle registered in this state.
   
   (b) When a nonresident's operating privilege is suspended pursuant to
   Section 7-206, 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
   (c) of this section.
   
   (c) Upon receipt of such certification that the operating privilege of
   a resident of this state has been suspended or revoked in any such
   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
   give and maintain 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 of such resident if he
   was the driver, and all of his registrations if he was the owner of a
   motor vehicle involved in such accident. Such suspension shall
   continue until such resident furnishes evidence of his compliance with
   the law of such other state relating to the deposit of such security
   or files proof of financial responsibility.
