Passed here on our way north. He asked for the driver licence and vehicle title. He turned around the vehicle and checked if our bike rack was ok. He Didn’t say anything so I guess it was ok.
Not really friendly for argentinian !

Report Check-In

It’s a bad day for many drivers here today. The police here are in a bad mood or maybe they need to meet a quota for giving tickets! Busy giving citations. We have been stopped a few times in Argentina at these checkpoints, paperwork reviewed quickly and off we go. Usually we are waved through. We’ve crossed the border into Argentina several times as well. Here today it is an infraction of Argentinian law for our bike rack to be beyond the bumper of the car. We had to remove the bikes and rack, find a place inside the van for everything and pay a citation in the city. We were unaware rear bike racks are not allowed, but apparently nothing can extend beyond the bumper of your vehicle here. It was $100 equivalent (blue rate) and 50% off if you pay willingly within the week.
