Detro-RJ (Department of Road Transportation of the State of Rio de Janeiro) conducted intense inspection operations during Carnival, resulting in 483 fines applied to vehicles on the highways.

The road fines included 324 citations for intercity buses, 120 for vans, and 39 for illegal passenger transportation. The main irregularity detected in buses was the noncompliance with the schedule, in addition to poor maintenance and accessibility issues.

For vans, route deviations and overcrowding were the main identified problems. In comparison to January, when 238 citations were registered for the intercity fleet in Rio, February saw a significant increase in numbers. The cities that suffered the most from penalties were Rio de Janeiro, Nova Iguaçu, Niterói, São Gonçalo, and Duque de Caxias.

Detro-RJ urges the public to contribute by reporting possible irregularities through the channels: email (ouvidoria@detro.rj.gov.br) or phone (21) 3883-4141. The information is essential for directing the agency’s actions.

How to Avoid Road Fines

Changes in traffic law make it more important for drivers to always pay attention to the points of the National Driver’s License. Staying aware of the CNH points is essential to avoid traffic fines. If you have had or currently face issues with traffic violations, there are ways to reduce the risk of getting points on your driver’s license.

Although it seems simple, keeping the car documentation updated is fundamental. According to the law, paying IPVA, licensing, and transfer within deadlines avoids fines and points on the driver’s license.

However, one must also be careful with speed. Driving above the permitted speed limit is a serious violation that incurs seven points on the license and a fine of R$ 293.47. Data from the Federal Highway Police (PRF) indicate that over 2 million Brazilians were fined for speeding in 2022.

Therefore, it is recommended that the driver always remains calm at the wheel and respects the established speed limits. If exceeding up to 20% of the permitted speed, one will be fined four points on the license and a fine of R$ 130.16. Driving can be fun, but it also requires responsibility.

Wearing a seatbelt is mandatory for all passengers, even for short trips. The violation for not using the belt incurs a fine of R$ 195.23 and five points on the National Driver’s License (CNH).

The cell phone can be useful for finding better routes, but its use while driving is considered a serious violation. The offender may receive seven points on the CNH and may have to pay a fine of R$ 293.47. When parking the vehicle, check if the signs in the area allow stopping there. Stopping in a prohibited location incurs a fine of R$ 195.23 and five points on the CNH. Thus, it is important to observe the signs before parking the car.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

New driver’s license in RS becomes up to 76% cheaper and almost doubles approvals, but students of independent instructors face queues, few cities with tests, and a wait of almost a month to schedule the practical exam.

One in every four apples from Brazil comes from a single city in Santa Catarina, located at the top of the mountain range at 1,360 meters of altitude, which transformed the extreme cold into a billion-dollar business with a quality seal.

Colombia is the fourth largest oil producer in Latin America, but has just hosted a conference with 50 countries to negotiate the end of fossil fuels, and the paradox is that the host city was defined for decades by coal exports.

A volcano in Antarctica emits 80 grams of pure gold into the air every day, spreading precious particles over the ice, and yet no one can get their hands on this wealth.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.
