Regulación sobre el uso de faros y lámparas auxiliares en vehículos

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice cuántas y cómo deben estar orientadas las lámparas en un auto. Si tienes faros o luces de niebla, deben estar ajustados para no molestar a otros conductores.

Es como ajustar la luz de una linterna para que ilumine tu camino sin deslumbrar a tus amigos que van caminando a tu lado.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está conduciendo su camioneta por una carretera oscura. Tiene dos lámparas de niebla, así que se asegura de que estén bien ajustadas para que la luz no moleste a los autos que vienen en sentido contrario, manteniendo así la seguridad de todos.
