The Government of Córdoba made official a new increase in Highway Police fines that has a full impact on drivers. The update considerably raises the cost of violations for those who drive on provincial routes. The most serious penaltiesnow exceed the 3-million-peso barrier.
The measure turns the province into one of the most expensive jurisdictions in the country for traveling by private vehicle. Both tourists who visit the mountains and local residents will have to be extremely careful to avoid these penalties. The adjustment represents a heavy burden on the private economy.
Many visitors will find themselves facing significant debts when they return from their vacations if they commit any recklessness behind the wheel. The revenue pressure on motorists keeps rising and generates concern in the tourism sector. The road control system is becoming increasingly onerous for the average citizen.

New values in force
Violations classified as minor now have a floor of $32,760 and a ceiling that reaches $163,800. This range includes lesser offenses such as driving while smoking on the highway. The driver will have to pay attention to details that previously went unnoticed during inspections.
For serious offenses, such as driving with low beams off, the values range between $163,800 and $327,600. This is one of the most common penalties that the police force applies at checkpoints. The cost of this oversight is equivalent to a very significant portion of an average salary.
Running a red light, driving against traffic, or exceeding the speed limit are considered very serious offenses under the regulations. These violations carry fines that are around $655,200 according to the new scale in force in the province. Speeding is one of the main causes for issuing tickets.

Maximum penalties
Maximum fines are applied to extremely serious offenses such as drunk driving or document and license tampering. The amounts for these cases start from $1,965,600 and climb to the record figure of $3,276,000. These are amounts that can seriously compromise the offender's family assets.
This maximum range is also applied to the destruction or removal of road infrastructure on highways. The severity of the amounts seeks a deterrent effect, although the economic impact is devastating for people's pockets.
