What is the Electronic Notification System (SNE)?
The Electronic Notification System was developed for Denatran (National Traffic Department) and its main function is to allow registered vehicles to receive a percentage discount on the amount of interstate fines.
This application facilitates and speeds up communication through the system itself. This allows drivers to contact transit authorities more efficiently and receive notifications of violations.
The SNE app is free to download for Android and iOS systems. To create a record, simply log in and enter details such as license plate number and they got out of the vehicle.
After 45 days of registration, you will receive notification of all traffic violations through the SNE application.
In this way, the fine will not be sent by the Post Office. However, if you do not track your application, may have trouble meeting the appeal deadline. Drivers can pay around 40% off, but they must waive their constitutional right to contest the fine.
What are the benefits of the Electronic Notification System (SNE)?
One of the advantages of electronic reporting systems is that you get all the details about offenses and fines committed. Furthermore, these violations can be reviewed completely online.

To do so, the driver must accept the terms and conditions of acceptance. For example, by clicking on “I don't want to receive notifications from the Post Office about traffic violations”. From there, you need to use the app regularly to keep track of your fines.
In addition, you can also pay them in a simpler way, making a payment using the code sent by the SNE, for example.
Finally, the biggest benefit of using the app is the 40% discount when you “give up” to appeal the fine.
What are the disadvantages of the Electronic Notification System (SNE)?
The primary purpose of the SNE filings is to prevent drivers from exercising their constitutional right to sue for traffic violations.
If the driver admits responsibility for paying the fine with the 40% discount, there is no appeal. He waives his right to appeal, which can have many consequences for drivers, especially self-suspension fines. This is because participation in the rebate system does not entitle you to appeal against an administrative sanction of suspension.
But, if he does not accept losing the right to appeal, still get 20% discount until the expiration date and, if granted, you can also request a refund.
Another disadvantage is that, once you participate, you will not receive a notification in the Mail of your fine. This can be an issue as drivers need to keep track of appeal deadlines through the app. If you don't, you may miss the deadline to file the appeal.
The first point that the driver must check is the knowledge of the infraction, and even if the discount seems good, it is important to be aware of whether it is worth paying and waiving the right to the appeal which, in many cases, can lead to the suspension of the right to to drive.
How does the Electronic Notification System (SNE) work?
There are several ways to access the system. The main one being through the application downloaded directly on smartphones.
You can register with the SNE by clicking on the Settings menu. If you select the “online system”, the assessment and fine notices will be sent to you in the application itself, instead of being printed and sent to the vehicle owner.

This system environment allows the driver to view the details of each violation. Thus, you have the option of paying the amount of the administrative infraction with a discount of up to 40%, as long as you have not appealed in any instance.
However, if you unsubscribe, you will receive your fines and notices directly in the Mail again.
Main questions about the NES
Who can choose to receive notifications electronically?
Notified owners or drivers must keep their registration updated with the Detran, or equivalent State agency. The use of electronic notification systems supersedes other forms of notification for all legal purposes.
Can the user cancel access after joining the system?
Yes. However, all notices submitted prior to the termination date will be legal notices for all intents and purposes.
Are all violations recorded against my vehicle available on the SNE?
Only infractions adhered to the system by the reporting bodies will be available on the SNE. Therefore, each agency of the National Traffic System must coordinate its notification system with DENATRAN in order to properly communicate and exchange information.

Did the PRF join the SNE?
Yes.
What are the PRF violations accessible through the SNE?
All those that are drawn up from November 1, 2016 and that are typified in the Law 9.503/97 - Brazilian Traffic Code.
Is it worth adopting the SNE in the management of light fleets?
How much do you know about traffic rules in Brazil? No wonder most drivers don't understand what constitutes a violation. Many people and companies pay fines without even convincing themselves that they are not in the wrong.

Therefore, it is always essential, for example, request the notice of infringement. After all, in some cases there is a risk of human error. Therefore, it is possible that the vehicle's license plate number was entered incorrectly, or that there really was no reason to be fined for driving without a mirror, for example.
Fines are not always fair, so it's important to appeal them. Also, because there is a good chance of converting to a warning in the case of moderate or minor violations.
In summary, the functionality of an application like SNE is simple. Drivers register, receive online fine notifications and receive a reduction, only if they agree not to resort to the infraction.
However, It is important to emphasize that the fine includes not only the amount attributed to it, but also the CNH points where the license can be blocked. While this is a good way to track violations and control fines, it's not the ideal option for payments, after all, there's always the risk of being penalized for incorrect fines.
