     4  follows:
     5    c.  Upon determination that a registrant was liable in accordance with
     6  section eleven hundred  seventy-four-a  of  this  chapter  for  a  third
     7  violation  of section eleven hundred seventy-four of this chapter within
     8  an eighteen month period, the commissioner or his  or  her  agent  shall

    10  months, and shall deny any registration or renewal applications for  any
    11  other  motor  vehicle  registered in the name of the applicant where the

    13  evade  the  purposes  of this subdivision and where the commissioner has
    14  reasonable grounds to believe that such  registration  or  renewal  will
