Today we had an experience not to be repeated. I went to traffic court for a violation committed  almost a month before we arrived.  Here is the municipal building in Lautaro where I had to appear.

Evidently, the couple before us drove past a stop set up by the national police to make sure everybody has their documents and is insured. (I'm sure they weren't even aware they missed it.) The judge told me that it was a grave infraction which carried a large fine and could result in my having my license suspended. (I am driving on a UT license so I don't know how that would play out.) Fortunately, he believed me that I wasn't even in the country at the time and didn't ask to see my license. He lowered the fine and I paid it immediately. I'm glad to be done with that as I worried that I may not even be able to drive back to our apartment (about 30 miles away).

As we left, I told Mary that her #1 copilot duty is to make sure I never drive past a police stop.
