Normas sobre licencias de conducir en el Pacto de Licencias

Explicación Simple

Si quieres obtener una licencia de conducir en Pensilvania, necesitan asegurarse de que no tengas problemas con licencias de otros estados. Si tu licencia está suspendida o revocada, no te la pueden dar hasta que se resuelva eso.

Es como intentar jugar en un equipo de fútbol, pero si te han expulsado de otro equipo por hacer trampa, no te dejarán jugar hasta que demuestres que has cambiado.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene una licencia de conducir de Nueva Jersey que fue suspendida por exceso de velocidad. Cuando Juan intenta obtener una licencia en Pensilvania, le dicen que no puede porque su licencia está suspendida. Tendrá que esperar hasta que termine la suspensión para poder aplicar nuevamente.

(c) If the laws of a party state do not provide for offenses or violations denominated or described in precisely the words employed in subdivision (a) of this article, such party state shall construe the denominations and descriptions appearing in subdivision (a) of this article as being applicable to and identifying those offenses or violations of a substantially similar nature and the laws of such party state shall contain such provisions as may be necessary to ensure that full force and effect is given to this article. Article V Applications for New Licenses Upon application for a license to drive, the licensing authority in a party state shall ascertain whether the applicant has ever held or is the holder of a license to drive issued by any other party state. The licensing authority in the state where application is made shall not issue a license to drive to the applicant if: (1) The applicant has held such a license, but the same has been suspended by reason, in whole or in part, of a violation and if such suspension period has not terminated. (2) The applicant has held such a license, but the same has been revoked by reason, in whole or in part, of a violation and if such revocation has not terminated, except that after the expiration of one year from the date the license was revoked such person may make application for a new license if permitted by law. The licensing authority may refuse to issue a license to any such applicant if, after investigation, the licensing authority determines that it will not be safe to grant to such person the privilege of driving a motor vehicle on the public highways. (3) The applicant is the holder of a license to drive issued by another party state and currently in force unless the applicant surrenders such license. Article VI App
