Minors Holding a Driver’s Permit Will Be Covered by the Statute of Children and Adolescents

Bill 314/23 establishes the Brazilian Traffic Code (CBT) to issue Driver’s Permits to young people over 16 years old. For this to happen, the bill provides for changes to Law No. 9,503, dated September 23, 1997. In addition, it includes specific oversight for minors. If the bill is approved, minors holding a Driver’s Permit will be covered by the Statute of Children and Adolescents.

According to the Traffic Portal, young people over 16 must respect a limit during one year of the permit to qualify for a permanent document. Thus, they cannot exceed: 20 points if there are 2 or more severe infractions; 30 points if there is 1 severe infraction; and 40 points if there are no severe infractions.

The Permit for Those Over 16 to Drive Can Be Justified by the Political Responsibility of Youth

According to the author of the proposal, young people over 16 in the country are in a constant process of maturation, as Brazil allows them to vote and actively participate in national political life. “Given this fact, where active participation of youth in political life is acknowledged, it seems incongruous that the prohibition for sixteen-year-olds to drive cars or motorcycles still persists,” he states.

The Permit for Young People Over 16 to Drive Is a Frequent Topic in Politics

Allowing young people over 16 to drive is an issue that has increasingly come up in discussions both in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Federal Senate. However, the bills on the subject have not made significant progress. The Bill 3973/19, for example, currently in the Federal Senate, had the opinion of the Committee on Constitution, Justice, and Citizenship recommending the rejection of the project.

Senator Fabiano Contarato (PT/ES) states that “despite the evident public appeal, the inclusion of youth between 16 and 18 years old as drivers of motor vehicles, given the factual situation of Brazilian traffic, would be nothing less than reckless.” For him, Brazil’s violent traffic would be a stage for accidents involving young adolescents behind the wheel.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

New technology may retire the common bathroom fixture: smart shower turns on by voice, heats up before the shower, adjusts temperature via mobile phone, and transforms the shower stall into a digital system inspired by a connected home.

After closing a factory in Argentina, Whirlpool will open 200 job positions at a Brazilian unit and aims to accelerate industrial restructuring with new investments, logistical expansion, and a focus on national production of home appliances to meet high demand in the South American market.

New CNH rule allows the use of a private car in the exam, but insurers raise an alert about coverage in case of an accident

Brazil joins a 5-year international mega project to combat plastic pollution on the coast with scientific monitoring, new environmental policies, and integrated actions that promise to reduce waste in strategic coastal cities of the country.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
