(c) The department may impose an immediate suspension of driving privileges of any person described in paragraph (a) of this subsection without hearing and without receiving a record of the conviction of the person of a crime if the department has reason to believe that the person may endanger people or property if the person’s driving privileges are not immediately suspended. A suspension under this paragraph is subject to a post-imposition hearing under ORS 809.440. A person who is denied eligibility under ORS 807.090 is entitled to a hearing under ORS 809.440.

A suspension under this subsection is subject to administrative review under ORS 809.440 and shall continue until such time as the person produces a judicial judgment of competency or a certificate from the superintendent of the hospital that the person is competent, or establishes eligibility under ORS 807.090.
