Si un camión pesa más de lo permitido, el oficial le da una multa al conductor. Luego, el dueño tiene 21 días para pagar la multa o decir que quiere pelearla en la corte.
Es como cuando cocinas y necesitas medir los ingredientes. Si pones demasiada sal, alguien te dice y tienes que decidir si haces otra tanda o aceptas que te quedó salado.
Imagina que Juan, un transportista, lleva un camión con carga pesada. Un oficial lo detiene y le da una multa porque el camión excede el peso permitido. Juan tiene 21 días para pagar la multa o presentar una defensa si cree que fue un error.
Si no pagas ni presentas defensa, enfrentarás una orden administrativa que actúa como un juicio en tu contra.
