The Vehicles without lights will also be fined: They will have to pay between 39 thousand and 390 thousand pesos, according to the current values of super gasoline in Neuquén.
For each event that occurs at a traffic light intersection, the cameras will take a three-second video and three photographs from which the fine photo will be taken that will arrive at the address listed on the vehicle’s license plate.
There are two ways to notify violations: to the real address or to the electronic address. The second route will be priority when the municipality has the electronic address of the owner of the offending vehicle, while the rest will receive the fine at the physical address that appears in the Motor Vehicle Registry.
The cameras have such quality that they allow the vehicle and license plate to be clearly identified, as well as the type of infringement committed. Thus, the photos allow us to analyze whether or not the person uses the seat belt or even if they have their cell phone on a support to use it as a GPS or if it is an element of distraction.
