Aprobación de métodos de prueba de frenos y luces

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que hay personas encargadas de aprobar cómo se prueban los frenos y las luces de los coches. Si un dispositivo no funciona bien, pueden quitarle la aprobación hasta que se revise nuevamente.

Es como cuando un profesor revisa si un libro de texto tiene información correcta; si encuentra errores, puede decidir que no se puede usar hasta que se corrijan.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan compra un equipo para probar frenos que tiene un sello de aprobación. Luego, el Superintendente se entera de que ese equipo no funciona bien y le dice a Juan que no puede venderlo más hasta que pase una nueva prueba.

Penalidades

Si se vende un equipo sin aprobación, se considera ilegal hasta que cumpla con los requisitos establecidos.
