(c) This subsection does not apply to failure to appear in a proceeding relating to a parking, pedestrian, vehicle defect or bicycling offense.
(2) The department shall suspend the commercial driving privileges of a person if the department receives a notice from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that the person has been disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle and that the disqualification is due to a determination that the driving of that person constitutes an imminent hazard.
