I think using high beams unnecessarily can also get you stopped, so I ignored that demand.

Jesus! I’m glad I didn’t read this before my little road trip. I figured out about the lights fast, but never realized they should be HIGH beams. Only passed one checkpoint, and although there were many pulled over, they let me through — without mate in hand.

I guess heading south (Tanlin) is better for driving then north to Entre Rios.

Jajaja, indeed.

Well, the Argentine media caught onto this story recently:
