Furthermore, he highlighted that revocations and suspensions serve as an educational measure for drivers. "The traffic code was created with the main intention of correcting people's conduct. So, every time a penalty is applied, the purpose of that penalty is for the person to correct themselves and not make the same mistakes again", he commented. Rules and punishments The survey considers the 25 cities that make up the Detran's regional superintendence in Campinas: Americana Artur Nogueira Campinas Conchal Cosmópolis Engenheiro Coelho Espírito Santo do Pinhal Estiva Gerbi Holambra Hortolândia Indaiatuba Itapira Jaguariúna Limeira Mogi Guaçu Mogi Mirim Monte Mor Nova Odessa Paulínia Pedreira Santa Bárbara d'Oeste Santo Antônio de Posse Santo Antônio do Jardim Sumaré Valinhos According to Detran, the trend is that 2026 will also show an increase compared to 2024 due to the change in processes. In the first half of this year alone, 1,493 revocations and 4,739 suspensions were recorded, totaling 6,232 cases. Different risk behaviors lead to the suspension or revocation of the right to drive, such as drunk driving, speeding and racing. Driving with a suspended document is a very serious offense, which results in the revocation of the driver's license, a fine of R$880 and seizure of the vehicle. In cases of serious accidents, the driver can be detained for up to a year. Drivers who do not agree with the punishments applied can file an administrative appeal with Detran to try to cancel the penalty.

According to the Public Ministry of the State of São Paulo (MP-SP), the driver of the vehicle was driving with her driver's license suspended due to her involvement in a previous accident. School transport monitor Viviane Cristina Soares Bolani, Vitor's mother, says that the driver had already hit another motorcycle three years earlier. "While he is in a cemetery, she is enjoying her life, she is living and she says that she was just involved in the accident. That revolts me", said the mother.
