Personal trainer dies after being hit by a motorcycle that was performing dangerous maneuvers in Friburgo The death of personal trainer and teacher Ariana Severo, 37, who was run over by a motorcyclist who was performing dangerous maneuvers in Nova Friburgo, in the mountainous region of Rio, led to the presentation of a bill that toughens punishments for the practice known as "degree". The proposal provides for more severe fines, suspension and revocation of the National Driving License (CNH), in addition to increased penalties in incidents involving injured or dead victims. Bill 3,537/2026 was presented by federal deputy Hugo Leal (PSD-RJ) after the accident that occurred on June 29, in Nova Friburgo. According to witnesses, Ariana was hit by a motorcyclist who was maneuvering at high speed and lost control of the motorcycle. ?

"The 'Lei do Grau' is a proportional response to a practice that has become a true epidemic on Brazilian streets. We need to protect drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and other motorcyclists from those who are willing to put everyone's lives in danger with irresponsible conduct", said Hugo Leal. Under the proposal, the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB) would now provide for a fine multiplied by ten for anyone caught carrying out maneuvers of this type. The text also establishes suspension of the right to drive for 12 months and immediate removal of the vehicle for storage. In case of repeat offense within a period of 12 months, the fine would be doubled and the driver would have his driver's license revoked. The project also provides for the liability of the vehicle owner when it is used by a third party who is a repeat offender. In the criminal sphere, the proposal increases the penalties for juggling or balancing on a wheel from one third to one half when there is bodily injury or death. With the change, sentences that currently range from three to six years in prison could reach up to nine years. The text also provides for the creation of permanent awareness campaigns about the risks of the practice. In justifying the project, data is cited that indicates that motorcycles, scooters and mopeds already account for almost 40% of deaths in Brazilian traffic, a percentage higher than the approximately 3% recorded at the end of the 1990s. The numbers also indicate that accidents with motorcycles represent approximately 60% of hospitalizations for traffic accidents in the Unified Health System (SUS). When defending the proposal, Hugo Leal stated that the objective is to avoid new tragedies caused by reckless behavior in traffic. "Every life lost in this way is a life that could have been spared with stricter rules and effective supervision. This is what we seek with this project", concluded the parliamentarian.
