Explicación Simple

No puedes manejar un vehículo en un puente si vas más rápido o llevas más peso del permitido. Si lo haces, puedes recibir una multa por ello.

Imagina que Juan conduce su camión de entrega a alta velocidad sobre un puente que tiene un límite de peso de 5,000 libras. Si lleva 6,000 libras y lo atrapan, Juan enfrentará una multa por exceder el límite de carga.
