“Our intention is to cut red tape and make life easier for the driver,” said President Jair Bolsonaro.
The law sanctioned by Bolsonaro has 3 vetoes, including the provision that motorcyclists can only travel between vehicles only when traffic is stopped or slow.
According to the text, the Bill 3267/19, of the Executive Branch, the CNH will have valid for ten years for drivers with up to 50 years. The current five-year term continues for those over 50.
In the case of the renewal every three years, currently required for those over 65, it is valid only for drivers aged 70 and over.
Professionals who carry out paid activity in vehicles (bus or truck drivers, taxi drivers or drivers by request, for example) follow the general rule.
Regarding the score from which the citizen has the right to drive suspended, the project establishes a gradation of 20, 30 or 40 points in 12 months depending on whether there are serious infractions or not.
Currently, the suspension is given with 20 points, regardless of this type of infraction.

- the measure will apply to bus or truck drivers, taxi drivers, app drivers or motorcycle taxis.
However, if the paid driver wants to participate in a preventive recycling course when, in 12 months, he reaches 30 points, the total score will be reset. Currently, this possibility exists for those with portfolios type C, D or E if they accumulate 14 points.

“For the poorest sectors of the population, National driver’s license – CNH it constitutes another opportunity to get a job, to develop an economic activity. However, with the requirements created by the current Traffic Code, the cost of classes, exams, driving vouchers and other administrative costs, has prevented this part of the population from accessing habilitation services ”, said the deputy.
