Law 14.071/2020 enabled the National Positive Driver Registry (RNPC), a discount program offered to good drivers, to be included with a valid driver's license in any category.
As the novelty is very recent, many managers do not have information about the rules and advantages that professionals and their business acquire with this novelty.
The positive registration program was made available in September 2022, with the expectation that states and municipalities will be able to grant discounts on taxes, tolls and other services to drivers without infractions.
On the other hand, it is important to emphasize that the benefits are only for people with a positive credit history in the last 12 months.
In Rio Grande do Sul, the state government's Finance Department claims that the legislation has been in effect since 1999, known as the "Good Driver" Law.
In this region of the country, discounts on IPVA are granted to vehicle owners who do not have infractions.
As a result, in 2022, the benefit reached 46% of the taxable vehicle fleet in the state subject to IPVA (Vehicle Property Tax). In total, 1,8 million of the approximately 3,9 million vehicles received discounts through the program.
In this context, the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB) is undergoing important changes for the management of light vehicle fleets.
This is because the new rule makes drivers adopt traffic rules, as this practice increases their own safety and reduces the damage caused by poor driving.
Therefore, in your management you must understand all the necessary information, including these tax and fiscal advantages for drivers.
Furthermore, use this traffic update as a strategy to manage within the fleet a culture that emphasizes the importance of having a positive credit history on the commercial driver's license.
With that in mind, we prepared this article to provide your management with information about the program and encourage drivers to have a CNH without records.

Include the CNH in the National Positive Drivers Register
Drivers who meet the necessary requirements for registration need to access the website of the National Traffic Secretariat (Senatran) and complete the registration process.
Similarly, the request can also be made through the Digital Traffic Wallet (CDT) app.
The positive registration to start receiving the benefits will be activated on October 13, 2022, as part of the actions of the National Traffic Week.
This positive driver record rewards drivers through Law 14.071/2020 , which amended several provisions of the Brazilian Traffic Code.
It is emphasized that this is a voluntary benefit and not automatic. In other words, drivers must request to be part of the program.
Therefore, drivers who want to include their CNH to receive the benefits can register now.
Advantages for drivers without points in their license
Firstly, the rewards that municipalities offer to drivers, of any kind, benefit both the management of light vehicle fleets and the drivers themselves.
Thus, these benefits include more advantages than you can imagine. As in these examples:
- Prevention of accidents with more traffic Safety;
- Respect for speed limits;
- More physical integrity to the driver;
- Reduction of expenses with vehicles;
- Economy with tolls;
- Discounts on IPVA;
- Special conditions when contracting vehicle insurance;
- Fuel discounts;
- cashback;
- Tags on parking services.
Although it is highlighted that the incentives can change according to each state transit entity.
In the state of Mato Grosso do Sul , for example, a 20% discount will be granted on the renewal of driver's licenses for drivers with a positive credit history starting in 2023.
Therefore, the benefits vary depending on the region of the country where the driver is located.
Actions that prevent the positive registration on the CNH
At first glance, the benefits for drivers seem like just an incentive. But, as a manager, you need to know that driver behavior influences the building of your company's credibility.
In this way, the records prevent accidents and save lives, since they provide further motivation for drivers to respect traffic laws.
However, proper driving also impacts cost reduction in fines, parts, fuel, and accidents.
In this sense, check out which situations need to be avoided, as they exclude professionals from their light fleets from having a positive record:
- Registration of traffic violation;
- Suspension of the registered person's right to drive;
- Driver's license revoked or expired for more than 30 days;
- Fulfillment of a custodial sentence by the driver;
- Withdrawal at the request of the driver himself.
Therefore, in their management, strategies should be created to encourage drivers to practice defensive driving.
Therefore, invest in road safety through systems that help your management maintain a standard of safe behavior.
Advanced technologies like telemetry already exist that allow you to track and monitor drivers' performance in real time.
Furthermore, data collected by software enhances your management for greater productivity and safety, through innovations that support prevention policies and improve fleet efficiency.
In summary, avoid increasing variable costs and keep all services in perfect working order, with detailed and constant monitoring through technological tools.
Encourage CNH without infractions in your light fleet management
Do you want to follow your drivers' driving in real time to be more secure in your management?
Therefore, telemetry is the perfect ally to give you a broader view of your fleet.

Telemetry operates like a true right arm, with several benefits that help you solve a possible problem.
Check out some advantages of having this vehicle tool:
- Identify dangerous stretches: track in real time and plan the safest routes that avoid the risk of robbery, theft and even prevent accidents.
- Reduce the number of losses: collect data such as technical failures, sudden braking and improper use to identify which vehicles have presented risks and need maintenance.
- Set driving standards: analyze data to shape a driving pattern, to improve the conduct of professionals who do not follow the required standards.
- Identify overspeed: learn from reports which vehicles are driven above the speed limits, which generate higher expenses and are exposed to risks such as traffic accidents.
- Improve route management: create strategies with detailed planning, in this way, you can prevent your fleet from taking paths with more traffic to increase productivity and quality of services.
In this way, telemetry brings numerous benefits to your light vehicle fleet management , as it allows you to have total control and transparency to manage vehicle activities from both an operational and cost perspective.
