CNH: Campinas region has 59 autonomous instructors, but professionals must follow rules to use their own car

The Campinas region in Brazil has 59 registered autonomous driving instructors, but confusion regarding vehicle usage rules hampers their ability to teach effectively.

In the Campinas region of Brazil, there are at least 59 autonomous driving instructors accredited by the Superintendência do Detran-SP. These instructors are allowed to help individuals who wish to obtain their Carteira Nacional de Habilitação (CNH), or national driver's license. However, there is significant confusion surrounding the rules governing how these instructors should conduct lessons and which vehicles can be used during the practical tests.

Lincoln Bueno, a former auto school instructor who lost his job last year, expressed relief at being able to work as an autonomous instructor. Despite having his documentation in order, he has been unable to conduct classes due to uncertainties regarding the vehicles allowed for use in the practical exams. Instructors like him are faced with restrictions that prevent them from using their own vehicles for lessons, without receiving a clear explanation from the Detran about the reasoning behind these regulations.

This situation presents challenges for both instructors and aspiring drivers in the region. With two-thirds of drivers in Campinas facing fines over the last year, the complications surrounding instructor regulations could further hinder the ability of residents to obtain their driving licenses. The lack of clear communication from Detran raises concerns about the accessibility of driving education in Campinas, which may require urgent attention to clarify the rules and support both instructors and students during the learning process.
