• Resumen

  • The social imaginary valorizes the belief that cultures are socially determined to abide or break the rules. Some countries, as Argentina, would have developed a social anomie because of the building of abundance of laws. Seniors lecturers as Peter Waldmann have supported a thesis of this caliber. In an opposite direction, the present notes of research shows that argentine-drivers in roads have committed fewer fines than foreign tourists. Based on the records of a private rent-a-car company we rather provide with a new methodology to study the road-security issues.

    To what an extent, physical and psychological distance may encourage or discourage the attachment to the law seems to be a much deep seated issue which merits to be discussed
