Normas de seguridad para vehículos nuevos en Minnesota

Explicación Simple

En Minnesota, si un nuevo coche o equipo no tiene una norma de seguridad, debe ser probado para asegurarse de que sea seguro. Si no pasa la prueba, no se puede vender ni usar. Así, se protege a las personas que los usan.

Es como revisar que una receta de pastel tenga los ingredientes correctos antes de hornearlo. Si falta algo o no está bien, el pastel no saldrá bien.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan quiere vender su nueva camioneta en Minnesota. Antes de hacerlo, debe llevarla a un centro de pruebas. Si la camioneta no cumple con las normas de seguridad, no podrá venderla hasta que se arreglen los problemas y obtenga la aprobación.

Penalidades

Si un vehículo nuevo no cumple con las normas, no se puede vender ni usar, lo que puede afectar a los fabricantes o distribuidores.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

In the absence of a motor vehicle safety standard adopted pursuant to the national Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 or if any such standard is not applicable to new vehicles or new equipment manufactured and first sold in the state of Minnesota, the commissioner of public safety may require new vehicles and specific types of new equipment to be tested and approved for compliance with the requirements of this chapter, or any rule adopted pursuant to this chapter. The commissioner shall approve or disapprove of the vehicle or equipment within a reasonable time after it is submitted. Approval may be based upon a certificate of approval or test report furnished to the commissioner by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. If such new vehicle or new equipment does not conform to the provisions of this chapter, or to such rules adopted by the commissioner of public safety, no person shall sell, offer for sale, or use any such new vehicle or new equipment. The commissioner of public safety is authorized to set and collect a reasonable fee from the manufacturer or distributor for the testing and approval of all new vehicles and specific types of new equipment upon which approval is required under this section. Such fee may be sufficient in amount to reimburse the Department of Public Safety for all costs connected with such test and approval. The commissioner shall waive the fee for any approval based on a certificate of approval or test report furnished by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
