The national government, through the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV), has intervened in the traffic infraction system. With Disposition 167/2026, published on Friday in the Official Gazette, a single table of codes was approved to identify traffic violations nationwide. Note: no new infractions are created, but the change is key for drivers because it aims to unify criteria in the way fines are recorded and managed.
The measure is directly linked to the points system, known as scoring, which applies to the National Driver’s License. That regime deducts points for infractions and can lead, depending on severity or accumulation, to license suspension. Until now, the problem was that each province, municipality, or Buenos Aires City had its own way of naming and recording offenses, creating chaos when trying to unify information. With the new table, each infraction will have a unique code, allowing a driver who commits an offense in Buenos Aires to receive the same point deduction as if they did it in Mendoza or Córdoba.
Among the offenses included in the table are classics such as driving with an expired license, driving without being authorized for that type of vehicle, not having the vehicle identification card, not having valid insurance, not having the mandatory technical inspection, not wearing a seatbelt, not respecting traffic lights and running red lights, among others. Each is associated with a code and has sanction ranges expressed in Fixed Units (UF), a measure that prevents values from becoming outdated over time. The mildest infractions can start at 50 or 100 UF, while the most serious reach up to 1000, 5000, or even 20,000 UF, especially in cases of transport or cargo.
For users, the change does not involve any paperwork or document renewal. The difference is that, from now on, when a ticket is issued or a fine is recorded, the infraction will have a unique code that allows national tracking of the scoring. For example, failing to respect signs at turns and roundabouts now carries code «304». Thus, all who violate that rule will lose the same number of points, regardless of the province.
That said, the disposition does not replace local authorities or change the jurisdiction’s competence. The amount of UF still depends on each province, municipality, or Buenos Aires City. But what is achieved is a common language among offenses so that, at the national level, the points system works uniformly. The new regulation only applies to provinces and municipalities that have adhered to the national scoring system. So, if you are a driver, be alert: fines now have a unique code, and points are deducted equally across the country.
