Definición de "Chófer" y conceptos relacionados en el Código de Vehículos de Míchigan

Explicación Simple

Esta ley define quién se considera un 'chófer' y explica qué son las infracciones civiles. Una infracción civil es una falta que no es un crimen, como cuando te multan por estacionar mal.

Es como cuando en un juego de fútbol, cometes una falta que no es tan grave como una tarjeta roja, pero aún así te penalizan con un tiro libre.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan trabaja en la comisión de caminos de su condado. Él no usa su coche personal, sino un camión del gobierno para llevar materiales. Según la ley, él no se considera un 'chófer' en el sentido estricto, porque su trabajo no es manejar un vehículo privado.
