Argentina Starlink vehicle installation regulations
Overview
The municipality of Río Grande, Argentina, initially issued safety guidelines regarding the installation of Starlink satellite antennas on vehicles. Local authorities advised against mounting antennas on windshields because such practices obstruct driver visibility and violate National Traffic Law No. 24.449.
Following these recommendations, enforcement has expanded across several jurisdictions, including Neuquén, Santa Cruz, Necochea, and Tierra del Fuego. Drivers are now facing traffic fines of up to $400,000 and potential vehicle impoundment for using antennas that disturb visibility. Authorities are applying existing transit laws to address the safety hazard, noting that such installations may also lead insurance companies to reject or reduce coverage in the event of an accident.
