Regulaciones sobre luces y dispositivos de señalización en vehículos

Explicación Simple

Esta ley habla sobre cómo deben funcionar las luces de los vehículos. Por ejemplo, prohíbe que las luces brillen demasiado lejos para no deslumbrar a otros conductores.

Es como cuando ajustas la intensidad de una lámpara en casa; no quieres que sea tan fuerte que te lastime los ojos o moleste a los demás.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan conduce su motocicleta en la noche. Si usa luces especiales que parpadean, debe asegurarse de que sean del tipo permitido por la ley. Si no lo hace, podría tener problemas con la policía.
