Cumplimiento de Obligaciones de Seguridad para Vehículos Todo Terreno

Explicación Simple

Si tienes una deuda por un ATV o motonieve, quien te prestó el dinero debe darte un documento que diga que ya pagaste. Después, el gobierno te dará un nuevo título que no mencione la deuda.

Es como cuando le pides a un amigo que te preste su bicicleta. Si le pagas lo que le debes, él te da un papel que dice que ya no le debes nada, y luego puedes hacer lo que quieras con la bicicleta.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan compró un ATV y lo financió con un banco. Cuando Juan termina de pagar, el banco le envía un documento que dice que ya no tiene deudas. Luego, Juan lleva ese documento al departamento de vehículos, que le da un nuevo título sin la marca de la deuda.

Penalidades

Si no se cumple con esta ley, se puede recibir una multa de $50.
