Overview

• Argentine reports list speeding as the top violation, with Buenos Aires province fines from 435,600 to 1,452,000 pesos and CABA amounts roughly 252,080 to 2,520,800 pesos.
• Under Ley 24.449, fines are calculated in Unidades Fijas, where one UF equals the price of a liter of high‑octane gasoline in CABA, so penalties adjust with inflation.
• In Phoenix, typical 2025 fines include USD 100–500 for speeding, USD 150–400 for red‑light or stop‑sign violations, and USD 25–150 for parking.
• Penalties in Phoenix double in school or construction zones, with up to USD 2,000 for passing a stopped school bus and up to USD 2,500 for reckless driving with possible jail time.
• Drivers in Phoenix can pay online or through the courts and may use defensive‑driving programs, while U.S. infractions can raise insurance premiums by about 22% on average and in some cases up to 70%.
