Brazilian Traffic Fine Lookup

Search Brazilian traffic infractions by article or keyword — see the severity, points and fine amount from the CTB.

Reference tables may be outdated. Official rates change over time. The table year is shown next to the values, and every field can be edited — always check the current official figures.

How to use

  1. The table loads with all infractions. Type an article number or keyword to filter.
  2. Read the severity (minor, medium, serious, very serious), the points on your license and the fine amount.
  3. The values are from the CTB (Código de Trânsito Brasileiro), updated to the date shown at the bottom.

About this tool

Brazilian traffic infractions are classified into four severity levels, each with a fixed point count and fine amount set by law. Minor infractions carry 3 points, medium 4, serious 5, and very serious 7. The fine amounts are updated periodically — the values here come from the most recent published figures. A driver accumulates up to 40 points before the license is suspended, though very serious infractions can trigger immediate suspension regardless of points.

The table is searchable by article number or by keyword. It covers the most commonly cited infractions, from speeding and red lights to seatbelts and mobile phone use. Each entry shows the CTB article, the description, the severity, the points and the fine amount. Multipliers apply in specific cases — driving under the influence, for example, carries a very serious classification with a multiplied fine.

This is a reference tool, not legal advice. The CTB is updated by law, and the fine amounts are adjusted. The date at the bottom tells you when the table was last reviewed.

Frequently asked questions

Are these the current fine values?

They are from the date shown at the bottom. Fine amounts are updated by resolution, so check the official source if the date is old.

What happens when I reach 40 points?

The license is suspended. The count resets after 12 months without new infractions of the same severity.

Does a very serious infraction always suspend the license?

Some do, regardless of points — driving under the influence (art. 165) and racing (art. 167), for example.

Can I pay the fine with a discount?

Brazil offers a 40% discount for payment before the deadline in some states. Check the notification.

Is this legal advice?
