Description
This is a suit for damages growing out of an automobile accident brought by Robert Eberting, appellant, against Lois Skinner,
respondent. The appeal is from the order sustaining defendant's motion for summary judgment. The facts as they appear from

he was required to deposit security for the payment of any judgment which might be rendered for damages arising out of such
accident and recovered in an action at law begun not later than one year after the date of such accident, or suffer suspension
of his license and registration unless [§ 303.070(4)] "... there shall be filed with the director evidence satisfactory
to him that the person who would otherwise be required to file security has been released from liability or been finally adjudicated
not to be liable, or has executed a duly acknowledged written agreement providing for the payment of an agreed amount in installments,
with respect to all claims for injuries or damages resulting from the accident." See also § 303.140. Eberting obtained a printed form from the Safety Responsibility Unit at Jefferson City, " - on account of my license was
about to be revoked because it had not been sent in." He took that release and sent it to the M.F.A. office at Springfield.
"They, in turn, got Mrs. Skinner's ... signature on it." Then he took it to Jefferson City "personally." This "release" was
as follows:
