  surrendered within ten days of notification of such suspension.
  Notice given by certified mail or statutory overnight delivery,
  return receipt requested, mailed to the person’s last known address
  shall be prima-facie evidence that such person received the required notice.
 
  (b) A person whose driver’s license has been suspended under
  subsection (a) of this Code section shall:
 
    (1) Subject to the requirements of subsection (c) of this Code
    section and except as otherwise provided by paragraph (2) of this
    subsection:
 
      (A) Upon a first such suspension, be eligible to apply for
      license reinstatement and, subject to successful recompletion of
      the examination requirements of Code Section 40-5-27 and payment
      of required fees, have his or her driver’s license reinstated
      six months from the date on which the suspended license was
      surrendered to and received by the department; and
 
      (B) Upon a second or subsequent such suspension, be eligible to
      apply for license reinstatement and, subject to successful
      recompletion of the examination requirements of Code Section
      40-5-27 and payment of required fees, have his or her driver’s
      license reinstated 12 months from the date on which the
      suspended license was surrendered to and received by the
      department; or
 
    (2) If the driver’s license was suspended upon conviction for
    violation of Code Section 40-6-391, be subject to the provisions
    of Code Section 40-5-63; except that if such driver was convicted
    of driving under the influence of alcohol or of having an unlawful
    alcohol concentration and is otherwise subject to the provisions
    of paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-63, then
    such person shall not be eligible for a limited driving permit
    under Code Section 40-5-64, and:
 
      (A) If the driver’s alcohol concentration at the time of the
      offense was less than 0.08 grams, he or she shall not be
      eligible for license reinstatement until the end of six months;
      or
 
      (B) If the driver’s alcohol concentration at the time of the
      offense was 0.08 grams or more, he or she shall not be eligible
      for license reinstatement until the end of 12 months.
 
    Any driver subject to the provisions of this paragraph shall, as
    an additional prerequisite for license reinstatement, be required
    to successfully recomplete the examination requirements of Code
    Section 40-5-27.
 
  (b.1) In any case where a person’s driver’s license was
  administratively suspended as a result of the offense for which the
  person’s driver’s license has been suspended pursuant to this Code
  section, the administrative license suspension period and the
  license suspension period provided by this Code section may run
  concurrently, and any completed portion of such administrative
  license suspension period shall apply toward completion of the
  license suspension period provided by this Code section.
 
  (c) Any driver’s license suspended under subsection (a) of this Code
  section for commission of any offense other than violation of Code
  Section 40-6-391 shall not become valid and shall remain suspended
  until such person submits proof of completion of a defensive driving
  program approved by the department and pays a fee equivalent to that
  required for restoration of a suspended driver’s license under
  paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Code Section 40-5-63; provided,
  however, that such fee shall not be required under this subsection
  if such person’s driver’s license was administratively suspended as
  a result of the offense for which the person’s driver’s license has
  been suspended pursuant to this Code section and the restoration fee
  was paid for such administratively suspended driver’s license.
