If the driver license is expired for not more than thirty days prior to the time of the demand, the court, upon issuing judgment, shall postpone payment of the award for a period of thirty days, and if within such time the person produces in court a valid license or a validated receipt and temporary permit to show the issue of license is pending, the action shall be dismissed.
