More Points and Fewer Penalties

The project was approved by the Infrastructure Commission on September 2, 2025.
It raised the point limit for the driver’s license to 80, provided that there are no severe infractions.

Thus, professional drivers gained more leeway.
The measure reduced automatic suspensions in situations of heavy traffic and modernized the points system.

However, strictness remains for severe conduct.
This way, the roads become safer and fairer.

Preventive Course

The text provides for a preventive recycling course.
With it, the driver can eliminate up to 30 points upon reaching that limit within 12 months.

In this way, the driver will postpone or avoid the suspension of their license.
The course will focus on road safety, good practices, and accident prevention.

The measure promotes continuous education and reinforces individual responsibility.
Participation in the training will be a requirement for the benefit.

Flexible Rest

Another important change is the flexibility of the rest period.
Now, it can be reduced or extended by up to three hours, depending on the infrastructure available in the stretch.

Thus, truck drivers can adjust their journey without compromising safety.
The measure acknowledges the difficulty of finding suitable places on long routes.

This seeks to balance health, productivity, and protection on the roads.

Support from Technology

A routing application will also support the changes.
It will indicate stopping places, foresee rests, and provide information about the infrastructure along the route.

With this, truck drivers will have more predictability and fewer improvisations.
The tool ensures safer and more balanced journeys.

Although it depends on broad adherence from the category, expectations are positive.
The combination of technology, safety, and planning should transform daily life on the roads.

Impact and Next Steps

The changes were announced in early September 2025 and, therefore, generated significant repercussions. Additionally, they were highlighted by Joice Gomes’s report on the Terra portal.

The set of measures addresses long-standing demands from truck drivers and, consequently, recognizes the reality of Brazilian roads. Likewise, the proposal strengthens the profession, expanding perspectives for drivers.

However, implementation still depends on processing in the National Congress. Therefore, the transportation sector will continue to monitor the process closely, awaiting each vote and political negotiation.

Impact and Next Steps

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

Volvo FH 2026 truck automatically reduces speed in risk areas in Brazil with GPS, activates engine brake without driver intervention, and combines safety with aerodynamics capable of saving up to 3% of diesel in some operations.

A viaduct over 40 years old in a city in Minas Gerais was closed due to the risk of collapse, blocked routes for months, exposed maintenance failures, and now requires a R$ 1.7 million project to prevent a collapse in the urban heart for decades.

Viaduct used every day by cars, buses, and pedestrians in the center of a São Paulo city becomes a legal case after a report indicates “imminent danger,” cracks, corrosion, and high lethality risk.

While drivers on 14 Brazilian highways discovered accumulated Free Flow fines without being notified, the federal government suspends 3.4 million penalties and gives 200 days to pay overdue fees until November 16, 2026.
