To Avoid a Fine or Have Your DL Suspended, Drivers Must Know the Main Traffic Laws and Drive Cautiously.
Driving on public roads requires responsibility and respect for the traffic rules established by the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB). Unfortunately, many drivers risk not only their lives but also those of other road users by committing serious infractions. These actions not only endanger the safety of everyone but also result in severe penalties, including fines that can reach up to R$ 5,869.40 and the suspension of the National Driver’s License (CNH).
Offenses That Can Result in Fines and Suspended DL
The CTB details various situations where drivers can be penalized with high fines and the temporary suspension of their CNHs.
