Approved by the National Congress and sanctioned by the President of the Republic, the changes made to the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB) are now in effect. Therefore, anyone who is obtaining a license this year, or renewing the document, needs to be aware of what has changed.
For example, one of the changes that comes with the code change is the CNH points policy, which has a new limit. Thus, in order for the driver to lose his driving license, more points will be needed than before.

Finally, and what most interests most Brazilians, is the new CNH validity period and the renewal period. In general, there was an increase in validity, but with some specific caveats. Check out.
Anyone who goes to the Detran to get their CNH in 2022 will find an expiration date somewhat longer than older drivers. This is because, for those who take the license from January 2022, the validity of the document will be 10 years.
However, be aware that this deadline will depend on the age of the driver. For those over 50 years old, it is valid for five years. Similarly, drivers over the age of 70 have a license valid for only three years.
To make life easier for the driver, the Detran will send a notification 30 days in advance of the license's expiration date. In this way, drivers will be less likely to miss the renewal deadline.
Basically, what changed was the assessment model followed which, according to some specialists, became more careful and responsible. For example, practical night driving classes are now mandatory to obtain a CNH.
In addition, other changes were stipulated regarding the reexamination for students who failed the written or practical test. For these candidates, the exam could only be applied again fifteen days after the results were announced.
However, based on the new rules, there is no longer a deadline for repeating the evaluation, which may facilitate the process of withdrawing from the portfolio. Finally, the deadline for the physical and mental aptitude test was also changed, from five to ten years.
To check in more detail all the changes that came from Law 14. 071, you can access the DMV website. Also, send this article to friends and family to help us share relevant information.
