la politica de permitir tan solo tres contravenciones serias


Explanation:
Abriste una caja de Pandora con esta pregunta. Los expertos se estan tirando de los pelos todavia debatiendolo. Obviamente no vas a quere utilizar "a la tercera la ponchaste" o alguna tontera similar me imagino. Como es una expresion idiomatica creo que la mejor politica es limitarse a explicar el concepto.

política de avisos


Explanation:
Yo lo dejaría así como enunciado, esplicando después el concepto y en qué consisten los avisos o faltas.
La tradución literal me parece muy forzada.
No deja de ser una opinión, en cualquier caso...
Suerte
