New Bill Proposes Changes to the Calculation of Traffic Fines! If Approved, Penalties Will Be Adjusted According to the Value of the Vehicle

The Chamber of Deputies presented on Monday (17) a new Bill (PL) 78/25 that replaces the fixed value of traffic fines. The text aims to bring a new calculation for traffic fines based on a percentage of the market price of the vehicle. The text, which seeks to generate traffic fines based on the price of the car, changes the Brazilian Traffic Code.

Understand What Will Change with the New Bill (PL)

Currently, the CTB sets four fixed values for traffic fines, based on severity. For example, a very serious offense, such as driving without a driver’s license (CNH), is currently punished with a fine of R$ 293.47.

The bill for the new calculation for traffic fines changes this amount in reais to a percentage linked to the price of the vehicle, which increases according to the severity of the offense.

The market value of the vehicle will be determined by the National Traffic Council (Contran), with updates every year. However, the text for traffic fines based on the price of the car did not mention whether it will follow the official prices of the Fipe table, as occurs for the calculation of the Tax on the Ownership of Motor Vehicles.

If the new Bill is approved, the new rule should be regulated within 90 days and will come into effect in 180 days. Other points of the traffic law, such as the points system for the CNH and the multiplying factors for very serious offenses, are not altered by the new calculation for traffic fines.

Traffic Fines Based on the Price of the Car in Practice

The proposal for a new calculation for traffic fines comes from Deputy Kiko Celeguim (PT-SP). According to him, the fact that the value of fines is fixed, being altered only by severity, makes the penalty unequal, given that drivers with higher purchasing power will be less affected than those with lower income.

Celeguim assesses that the current model of fixed amounts leads to disproportionate consequences among drivers of different social classes and does not adequately penalize high-income drivers. The project will be analyzed in a conclusive manner by the Committees on Transportation and Traffic, Finance and Taxation, and Constitutional and Justice and Citizenship (CCJ).

As an example, the owner of a car worth R$ 100,000, with the new calculation for traffic fines, will see the value of fines increase if the Bill is approved. If they commit a serious offense, they will have to pay R$ 200, while currently paying R$ 195.23. For a very serious offense, the difference is even more significant, paying R$ 350 instead of the current R$ 293.47. Now, if the car is valued at R$ 200,000, the very serious fine will be R$ 700.

Percentage Increase in Traffic Fines Based on the Price of the Car

For the light fine (R$ 88.38), the amount that the Bill (PL) seeks to increase is 0.1% of the value of the vehicle. For the medium fine (R$ 130.16), the increase will be 0.15%. For the serious fine (R$ 195.23), the amount will rise to 0.20% of the value of the vehicle. Finally, the very serious fine (R$ 293.47) will increase to 0.35% of the value of the vehicle.

According to Celeguim, while for owners of lower-value vehicles the financial impact of fines can be extremely significant, for luxury vehicle drivers, the same amount becomes insignificant.

Então não seria melhor multa baseada na renda? Assim como o IPVA, essa lei impede os mais pobres de juntarem dinheiro durante a vida e comprarem um carro dos sonhos. Lei anti-pobre.

Understand What Will Change with the New Bill (PL)

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

With 4 engines, an 8,000 km range, torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, the Kawasaki P-1 is the Japanese submarine hunter made to patrol the Pacific and find invisible threats on the seabed.

New credit for Uber, 99, and taxi drivers can pave the way for car ownership, reduce the burden of car rental costs in their budget, and change the math for those who make a living from traffic every day.

Small on the outside and surprising on the inside, the Emerald prefabricated house draws attention by featuring a full kitchen, luxury bathroom, dishwasher, smart climate control, thermal and acoustic insulation, and mobility for less than 8,000 euros.

End of an era: Volkswagen is set to end production of one of the last heirs of the Gol in Brazil after more than 40 years and over 1.6 million units sold

Canadians are disappearing from the United States: The US feels the absence of Canada financially, while hotels, casinos, and tourist destinations try to attract visitors back with promotions.
