In the Buenos Aires Citytraffic fines are calculated according to a unit of measure called fixed unit (UF). The value of UF is updated periodically And it is based on the cost of half a liter of largest gasoline, as established by the General Directorate of Statistics and Census. This methodology seeks that sanctions maintain their economic proportionality over time, reflecting variations in fuel prices.

How much the fine is hidden by the vehicle patent
Currently the fine to cover the patent has a value of $ 139,000 since it is about 100 UF and each is equivalent to $ 1,398 pesos. The severity of this sanction is justified by the risks associated with the lack of vehicular identification. A vehicle without visible patent can avoid responsibilities in cases of accidents, facilitate illegal activities and hinder the work of the authorities in traffic control. Therefore, maintaining the patent in optimal and perfectly readable conditions is not only a legal obligation, but also a civic responsibility that contributes to the safety of all users of public roads.
This measure is implemented because the clear and visible identification of the patent is essential for vehicular control, road safety and crime prevention. The impossibility of identifying a vehicle can hinder accident resolutionevasion of regrets and monitoring in criminal cases.
