For the month of November, traffic violations increased by 3%. Find out how much they left.
In the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), Traffic violations are measured and recorded through a system that combines advanced technology with police controls. These violations include speeding, improper parking, traffic light violations, and cell phone use while driving, among others, and are detected through different automated and manual mechanisms.
Currently the cost of violations is measured by the Fixed Unitwhich is based on the sale price of a liter of higher octane gasoline at YPF service stations in the City of Buenos Aires. This value is updated periodically to reflect changes in fuel prices, allowing the value of fines to be automatically adjusted based on changes in the economy.

Amount of fine for refusing to take a breathalyzer test
For the month of November, the fine for refusing to take a breathalyzer test if required by the road authorities has a cost of $568,500 to $1,603,200, It is without one of the most expensive infractions and this is because it is assumed that a person who refuses the test has something to hide and is probably driving under the influence of alcohol.
Refusal is considered an attempt to avoid an even more serious violation. Therefore, by refusing, the driver faces a high fine similar to or even higher than what would be applied if the test was positive.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the main causes of serious and fatal traffic accidents. Breathalyzer controls are essential tools to reduce this risk and ensure safety on the streets. Refusal to cooperate with these controls implies a lack of commitment to public safety and a potential danger to other drivers and pedestrians.
