(a) The examiner of drivers may suspend any driver's license without hearing when the examiner:

(1) Has reasonable cause to believe that the licensee is incompetent to operate the type of motor vehicle for which the licensee holds a license or is afflicted with mental or physical infirmities or disabilities which would make it unsafe for the licensee to operate a motor vehicle of the type for which the licensee is licensed; or

(2) Is notified by the appropriate county director of finance that the licensee has outstanding charges and fines relating to the disposition of an abandoned vehicle, as provided pursuant to section 290-13.

(b) When the examiner of drivers suspends a license under this section, the examiner shall immediately notify the licensee and afford the licensee a hearing. After the hearing, the examiner of drivers may rescind the suspension, or the examiner may suspend the license for a further period or revoke the license. Any person whose license has been suspended or revoked under this section may appeal under section 286-129.
