of evidence to the contrary before the Commission. The Commissioner
shall direct the return of any money or collateral to the person entitled
thereto, at any time upon the acceptance and substitution by or on behalf
of the person required to furnish the same, of other evidence of such per-
son's ability to respond in damages, or at any time after three years from
the expiration of the latest registration or license issued to such person,
or at any time in the event of the death or permanent incapacity of such
person to own and/or operate a motor vehicle, or upon other good cause
shown therefor, provided no written notice shall have been filed with the
Commissioner stating that a suit for damages, as aforesaid arising out of
the ownership, maintenance, use or operation of a motor vehicle, as afore-
said, has been brought against such person, and upon the filing by such
person with the Commissioner of an affidavit that he has abandoned his
residence in this State or that he has made a bona fide sale of all motor
vehicles owned by him and does not intend to own or operate any motor
vehicle in this State for a period of one or more years.

174. If an owner's certificate of registration has been suspended
under the provisions of this sub-title, such certificate shall not be trans-
ferred nor the motor vehicle in respect of which such certificate was issued,
registered in another name, where the Commissioner has reasonable
grounds to believe that such transfer or registration is proposed for the
purpose or will have the effect of defeating the purpose of this sub-title.
Provided, however, that such transfer of registration shall be permitted
upon the furnishing of proof of financial responsibility to the Commis-
sioner by such transferee whenever the Commissioner shall deem it
necessary in furtherance of the purposes of this section. Nothing in
this sub-title contained shall have the effect of preventing a transfer of the
certificate of title of the motor vehicle of such owner.

175. Nothing in this sub-title contained shall be held to apply to or
affect policies of automobile insurance against liability which may now
or. hereafter be required by special sub-title, and such policies, if endorsed
to conform to the requirements of this sub-title shall be accepted as proof
of financial responsibility when required under this sub-title; nor shall
anything in this sub-title contained be held to apply to or affect policies
insuring solely the insured named in the policy against liability resulting
from the maintenance, operation or use by other persons in the insured's
employ or in his behalf of motor vehicles not owned by the insured.

any motor vehicle has been withdrawn as provided in Section 166 hereof,

one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or imprisoned not more than thirty days
