Overview
- Law enforcement in several provinces carried out roadside checks in recent days that found drivers with blood alcohol levels well over 2.0 g/l, triggering immediate detentions and seizure of vehicles and licenses.
- In Córdoba a trucker stopped for dangerous maneuvers tested 2.70 g/l, allegedly assaulted an officer during the stop, and had his truck, alcoholic beverages and a knife seized by Policía Caminera.
- In Mendoza a 31‑year‑old truck driver was intercepted after trying to evade a control at routes 50 and 33 and registered 2.64 g/l before being taken to the Subcomisaría Lara and referred to the Juzgado de Contravenciones.
- In Trelew ANSV inspectors recorded a 69‑year‑old driver with 2.06 g/l, retained his vehicle and license, and announced a fine exceeding 5 million pesos plus disqualification from driving.
- Authorities point to the zero‑tolerance rule for professional drivers and ANSV’s new Disposición 167/2026 to standardize infraction codes as steps that will speed administrative processing and data sharing across provinces.
