A new regulation has been implemented in Brazil regarding the accumulation of points on the National Driver's License (CNH). The maximum limit for license suspension is set at 40 points, which applies only to drivers who have not committed any serious infractions in the past 12 months. If a driver has one or more serious infractions, the threshold for suspension can drop to 20 points, significantly increasing the likelihood of losing one's driving rights due to prior violations.

Professional drivers, including app drivers, have a distinct set of rules within this new framework. For them, the point accumulation limit remains at 40 points, irrespective of serious infractions. Additionally, these drivers can undergo a refresher course upon reaching 30 points to mitigate the risk of suspension. This initiative aims to promote road safety while acknowledging the unique circumstances faced by professional drivers who depend on their licenses for their livelihood.

All drivers are advised to familiarize themselves with these new limits, particularly as previously unconsidered infractions can now lead to more severe consequences regarding driving privileges. The changes serve as a warning to drivers to remain vigilant about their driving behaviors and understand that their actions can significantly impact their legal ability to drive.
