Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB) rule toughens penalties and warns of strict radar monitoring
One of the new traffic law is causing concern among Brazilian drivers, especially those who usually step on the accelerator. Now, radar monitoring is stricter and the penalties for speeding have become even more severe. The fine imposed by this new measure is unforgivable, especially for those who exceed the speed limit to serious levels.
It The speed camera traffic law, in force in the country, comes as a warning to drivers who, often, end up surprised when driving at high speed without realizing the consequences. And look, the consequences are serious! The rule, which is part of the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB), brings a series of punishments for those who do not respect speed limits, and the idea is precisely to curb this dangerous practice on the roads.
What does the new traffic law say about speed cameras?
A The rule is clear: driving above the speed limit on highways, fast-moving roads or even on busier streets can result in a heavy fine. But the penalties vary depending on the severity of the excess. Let's look at the details:
- Toyota Yaris Cross arrives in Brazil in 2025 with a flex engine and hybrid versions to destroy competitors such as the Honda HR-V and Volkswagen T-Cross, promising 110 hp of power and unprecedented efficiency
- Good, beautiful and cheap! Discover 7 used cars that make Brazilians happy: Economy and quality in every kilometer!
- Discover the 5 new and cheap motorcycles that will make Brazilians happy for less than R$20 thousand!
- The triumphant return of the legend: Honda Falcon NX4 400 is 'resurrected' with full force on the market in 2025
If the speed exceeds the maximum permitted speed by up to 20%, the infraction is considered average, resulting in a fine simple. It seems like a “pull on the ear”, but it still hurts the pocket.
Now, if you exaggerate a little more and exceed the limit between 20% and 50%, things get serious. In this case, the infraction is reaction and fine also increases, in addition to points on the wallet.
And finally, for those who really ignore the speed limit and drive more than 50% over the speed limit, the situation becomes very complicated. The infraction is considered very serious, Ea fine is tripled, not counting the suspension of the right to drive.
The impact of distraction in traffic
In addition to speeding penalties, the Traffic law warns of another crucial point: distraction while driving. Talking too much, listening to loud music or even using your cell phone can be a dangerous recipe for accidents. Under these conditions, any second of distraction can result in a fatal error..
O The Brazilian Traffic Code reinforces the importance of always being aware of what is happening around you while driving. Accidents can be avoided if drivers stay focused on the road and the movements of other vehicles and pedestrians. And let's not forget: a car is a powerful machine, but in the wrong hands, it can become a weapon.
There is no “main law” in traffic
Many drivers wonder if there is one traffic law more important than the others, but the truth is that all CTB rules are equally important. They were created with a single objective: to guarantee the safety of everyone who shares the streets and highways. That is why all rules must be respected with the same care, whether it is wearing a seatbelt, respecting speed limits or not using a cell phone while driving.
A The new speed camera traffic law in force in Brazil comes with the clear objective of protecting lives and ensuring greater safety on streets and highways. The heavy fines for those who exceed the speed limit are not just a form of punishment, but a warning for all of us drivers to be attentive and respect the rules. supervision is stricter and, honestly, it's better to keep your foot light on the accelerator than facing a penalty that can be much more expensive, not only in your pocket, but also in lives.
