According to information published in the Official Bulletin this Thursday, the amounts of fines from the Córdoba Road Police have increased again. The recent rise in the price of super gasoline in the province prompted the increases, as reported.

Traffic Law 8.560 establishes the use of Fixed Units (UF), which are equivalent to the lowest retail price of one liter of super gasoline.
