Traffic fines issued by the Córdoba Highway Police decreased

The amounts of the fines applied by the Córdoba Highway Police to penalize drivers who commit violations have been reduced.

Since last Monday, a reduction in the value of the Fixed Fine Unit (UF) has been confirmed, as a consequence of the drop in the price of a liter of YPF super gasoline.

Thus, the UF went from $1,696 to $1,631, which represents a 3.8% decrease compared to the previous month.

This update directly affects the entire penalty scheme.
