Informes de Convicciones y Pleas al Departamento de Vehículos de Motor

Explicación Simple

Si una persona es arrestada por manejar ebria, el tribunal debe informar al DMV. Esto debe hacerse en un plazo de diez días para que el DMV tenga la información actualizada.

Es como cuando un maestro tiene que enviar las calificaciones de los exámenes a la escuela. Si no lo hace a tiempo, no se reflejará el desempeño del estudiante.
