Did you know? The frequency in driving schools to obtain the National Driver's License (CNH) may become optional. The measure is included in the Bill 4474/20, the text of which is already being analyzed by the Chamber of Deputies.
“The project allows future drivers to be instructed privately, without the need for the candidate to attend a driving school,” explained the author of the project, Congressman Kim Kataguiri (DEM-SP). The intention, according to him, is to make the process of obtaining a driver’s license “less bureaucratic and costly.”
According to the text of the proposal, in order to carry out written tests, which cover knowledge of traffic legislation and first aid, traffic authorities will have to offer free material on their website, allowing self-instruction.
In the practical driving test, carried out on public roads, instruction may be provided by an independent instructor, accredited by the traffic authorities.
To do this, the instructor must have held a qualification in the category desired by the candidate for at least five years. In addition, it will be necessary to:
- not having been penalized, in the last five years, with suspension or revocation of the right to drive, or
- have ongoing proceedings against you for these penalties; and
- not have been convicted or be being prosecuted for a traffic crime.
The vehicle used by the instructor must have identification specific to the learning condition, in the form established by the National Traffic Council (Contran).
In addition to this proposal, another bill makes driving school training optional for driver candidates (PL 3781/19). The proposal is being processed together with more than 200 other bills that change the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB).
