The minor to whom a ticket is issued for an administrative traffic violation may file an appeal for review under the Vehicle and Traffic Act of Puerto Rico, at the Minors’ Part corresponding to the place where the violation occurred, within the term provided in said act.
The appeal shall be served on the Advocate for Minors’ Affairs simultaneously with the date of filing. The court shall consider the appeal for review within the shortest time possible. Once the hearing is held, if the court considers that the minor did not incur the alleged violation, it shall exonerate him/her and direct the Department of Transportation and Public Works to cancel the lien on the vehicle involved or on the minor’s driver’s license, as the case may be.
