Remoción de vehículos y remolques sin licencia o inspección

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que puedes remolcar un vehículo o remolque que no tiene licencia o no ha sido inspeccionado. Sin embargo, hay algunas reglas que debes seguir para hacerlo de manera legal.

Es como cuando decides mover un mueble viejo que no sirve, pero necesitas pedir ayuda a un amigo con una camioneta y asegurarte de que esté bien amarrado para que no se caiga en el camino.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene un remolque que usa como oficina en su construcción, pero no lo ha inspeccionado. Cuando necesita moverlo, puede hacerlo siempre que use una grúa adecuada y cumpla con las reglas de seguridad establecidas en la ley.
