Cargos adicionales por infracciones de tráfico en Pensilvania

Explicación Simple

Si te atrapan manejando sin licencia o bajo los efectos del alcohol, tendrás que pagar un cargo extra. La cantidad que debes pagar aumenta si cometes la misma falta más veces.

Es como si cada vez que rompieras un plato en casa tu mamá te cobrara un poco más, hasta que te des cuenta de que debes tener más cuidado.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan fue detenido manejando con la licencia suspendida. Como es su primera vez, tendrá que pagar $75. Si lo hace otra vez, el próximo cargo será de $150, y así sucesivamente.

Penalidades

Los cargos adicionales aumentan con cada infracción: $75 por la primera, hasta $450 por la cuarta y sucesivas.
