Immediately upon receipt of notice of such accident, the insurance

4. To any person qualifying as a self-insurer as follows:

(a)    Any person in whose name more than twenty-five motor ve-
hicles are registered may qualify as a self-insurer by obtaining a
certificate of self-insurance issued by the Department as provided
in Sub-section (b) of this section.

(b)  The Department may, in its discretion, upon the application
of such a person, issue a certificate of self-insurance when it is satis-
fied that such person is possessed and will continue to be possessed
of ability to pay judgments obtained against such person.

(c)    Upon not less than five days' notice and a hearing pursuant
to such notice, the Department may upon reasonable grounds cancel
a certificate of self-insurance. Failure to pay any judgment within
