Toxicological Examination Supervision begins now Considered the second major reform of the CTB (Brazilian Traffic Code), this law 's main objective was to extend the inspection of the Toxicological Examination , to the second half of 2025. However, this was removed from the text, regulating that the inspection begins at from July 1st of this year, 2023 (according to schedule to be published by Contran). End of the “Counter Fine” The CTB had two possibilities for fines , in case the ET (Toxicological Examination) was not regularized: 1. “Traffic Fine”, for anyone caught driving with an expired ET; It is 2. “Over-the-counter fine”, for those who have an EAR on their driver's license and fail to renew the periodic ET (every two and a half years). With the entry into force of Law 14,599/23, this second possibility was excluded, leaving only the “Traffic Fine” applicable, but more stringent, considering it an infraction to drive vehicles of any category with the ET expired more than 30 days ago.
Common Inspection between State and Municipality The MBFT (Brazilian Traffic Inspection Manual) expresses who is responsible for inspecting each type of infraction, State or Municipality (in some cases both). With Law 14,599/23, 90% of infractions became a COMMON responsibility between these bodies, with few reservations. In this way, the municipality now has the power to monitor vehicle and driver documentation, something that was previously only the Europe Mobile Number List responsibility of the State. It is also important to emphasize that the proposal that prohibited the agreement with the Municipal Guards to monitor traffic was VETOED, that is, GM continues with these prerogatives, as long as it is through an agreement with the traffic authority . [Continues after ad] Failure to respond to the Recall blocks Licensing Paragraph 7 was included in article 131 of the CTB, which blocks the Annual Licensing of Vehicles that do not respond to the Recall made by the manufacturer, giving Contran the power to extend the deadline for service if necessary.
Discount Guarantee on fines The previous text of the CTB already provided for the possibility of paying the traffic fine at 60% of its value, when the offender opted for the electronic form of notification and gave up the right to defense or appeal. However, the majority of transit agencies were not complying with this determination, citing systemic incompatibility. With Law 14,599/23, even if the transit agency has not yet adapted its system to guarantee compliance with this standard, the offender will be GUARANTEED the right to pay with the discount provided for by law . End of fine for emergency vehicle One of the most talked about changes brought about by Law 14,599/23 was, without a doubt, the fact that vehicles providing urgent/emergency services (ambulance, rescue, police, civil defense, among others) can NO longer be fined for traffic violations. , parking or stopping , REGARDLESS of whether the sound and light devices are activated. New terms in Annex I of the CTB Law 14,599/23 included, in Annex I of the CTB, the terms Quadricycle, Traffic Accident, for cargo transportation.
