Most policies have a built in Lapse clause. For example, in CA, if you lapse a policy (ie don't pay it for 31 days past the due date), the policy is in "lapse" status. If lapsed, then the company won't pay a death benefit if the insured dies. However, in CA, a lapsed policy can be reinstated for up to 5 years provided that the insured party has not died and is still insurable (per the company's determination). To reinstate, you would need to pay all premiums that were missed plus interest.

For whole life and universal life policies, because they have a cash value, often a policy premium can be skipped temporarily or for a period of time without lapsing. Most companies will do this automatically if you are late on a premium.

Can insurance company suspend license if they paid for car repair?

An insurance company cannot suspend your license, period. Only the government can do that. What they can do is refuse to insure you. In practical terms, this may amount to the same thing, since most states make it illegal to drive without insurance (or some other proof of financial responsibility, such as a bond).
