Traffic Fine Mockup Generator

Anatomy of a Brazilian traffic ticket (auto de infração)

In Brazil the legal foundation for traffic fines is the Código de Trânsito Brasileiro (CTB) — Federal Law 9.503/1997. Every fine begins with an auto de infração (AI), a formal document that must contain: licence plate, date, time, location (often with GPS coordinates), CTB infraction code, agent's identification, equipment used (electronic speed bump, fixed/mobile radar, in-person agent) and, when applicable, a photographic record. State Detrans issue the fines and the federal Senatran consolidates the national driver registry.

Severity tiers, points and amounts (2024)

• Light (leve) — 3 points, R$ 88,38.
• Medium (média) — 4 points, R$ 130,16.
• Serious (grave) — 5 points, R$ 195,23.
• Very serious (gravíssima) — 7 points, base R$ 293,47, with a multiplier of up to 60x for specific offences (DUI, drag racing, driving against traffic on a divided road, etc.).

Law 14.071/2020 changed the point threshold for CNH suspension: 20 points if the driver accumulates 3+ very-serious infractions in 12 months, 30 points with 2 very-serious + 1 medium, or 40 points with at most 1 very-serious plus light/medium ones. Some very-serious offences trigger immediate suspension on the first occurrence (DUI, racha, refusal of the breathalyser).

Defending yourself: JARI and CETRAN

After the notification of autuação the driver has 30 days to file a defesa prévia, and after the notification of penalidade another 30 days to appeal to the JARI — Junta Administrativa de Recursos de Infrações. A second-instance appeal goes to the CETRAN (or CONTRANDIFE in the Federal District). Photos from electronic radars are made available in the Detran portal after authenticated login and are subject to metrological verification by Inmetro every 12 months — any expired certificate is grounds for annulment of the fine.

Legitimate uses of mock fines

Generating a fake auto de infração is legitimate for: UX prototyping of Detran-SP, Detran-RJ and Gov.br portals; training new agents and call-centre staff in handling driver complaints; integration tests against SNE — Sistema de Notificação Eletrônica APIs; demos of fleet-management dashboards; and academic exercises about the CTB. Forging the auto to mislead a third party, an employer or the Detran itself is, however, a crime — see the FAQ for the legal reference.

FAQ

Can I use a fake ticket to deceive the Detran or a third party? No. Forging an auto de infração or any official document is a crime under Article 299 of the Brazilian Penal Code (falsidade ideológica), with imprisonment from 1 to 5 years.

Is this generator useful for testing systems? Yes. It produces mock data in the visual format of a Brazilian fine, ideal for UX prototypes of Detran-SP / Gov.br portals, training new agents, internal demos and load tests against staging environments.

Does the photo accompany the fine? For radar-based infractions, yes — the photo is published in the Detran portal after login with CPF or gov.br account; for in-person infractions usually only the agent's report.

Can I pay with a discount? Yes. Paying before the deadline grants a 20% discount under the National Traffic System rules, and drivers enrolled in SNE — Sistema de Notificação Eletrônica may get an additional 40%.
