In some cities, drivers are not allowed to smoke while driving. Cordoba is one of these cities. The fine for smoking while driving is 500 pesos in that city. There is also an additional punishment for this violation – the driving license suspension for a period of 15 to 90 days.
If the violation is repeated, the driver faces a severer punishment - a fine of 1,000 pesos and the driving license suspension for a period of up to two years. Local authorities are quite logical when they explain such strict rules.
