Regulación de vehículos lentos y dispositivos de advertencia

Explicación Simple

Si manejas un vehículo que no puede ir rápido, debes poner una señal especial en la parte de atrás. Esta señal ayuda a que otros conductores te vean y sepan que deben tener cuidado.

Es como poner una luz intermitente en una fiesta para que todos sepan que hay un juego que requiere más atención, así evitas que alguien se lastime.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está conduciendo su tractor en una carretera rural. Para que los autos que vienen detrás de él lo vean, Juan coloca una señal de vehículo lento en la parte trasera de su tractor. Esto permite que los otros conductores reduzcan la velocidad y lo pasen con seguridad.
