(c) Whenever the authorized person has a record of at least three (3) guilty verdicts in a court of justice, each one for separate acts, within the term of one (1) year, for violations of the provisions of this chapter or its regulations.
(d) Whenever the authorized person has been convicted of violating laws or regulations in any jurisdiction of the United States, including states of the Union and territories, for acts or omissions that, under the laws of Puerto Rico, constitute crimes that may justify suspension or revocation of a license.
(e) Whenever the person has been authorized under the provisions of § 5061 of this title and fails to meet the requirements or conditions imposed by the Secretary.

Pregnant teens, emancipated youths, and youths who live with sick relatives that require their care or who live with relatives with special needs shall be exempt from this provision. The Secretary of Transportation and Public Works may provide, through regulations, any additional and special circumstance that warrant, through exception, the administrative exemption of a person under eighteen (18) years of age, but over sixteen (16) years of the requirements set forth in this section.
In cases such as those in preceding subsections (a), (b), and (e) of this section, the suspension or revocation of the license shall be rendered ineffective as soon as the indicated error, unlawfulness, or noncompliance is corrected, or if the disability that originated the Secretary’s action disappears or is corrected.
In no case shall the suspension of a license by the Secretary exceed a term of one (1) year.
