Traffic Tickets in Rio de Janeiro Can Be Paid in 12 Installments
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Traffic Department of Rio de Janeiro, (DETRAN), announced on Wednesday, April 15th, that drivers will be able to pay traffic fines on their credit cards, in up to 12 installments.
The measure also includes other debts incurred by vehicles, such as the compulsory DPVAT (Personal Injuries Caused by Land-based Automotive Vehicles) insurance, which can also be paid in installments.
The instalment payments will be carried out through institutions that should be accredited by the DETRAN within the next 30 days. The president of the Rio de Janeiro DETRAN, Antonio Carlos dos Santos, believes that the measure is significant to assist the population in the fight against the Covid-19.
“We need to be attentive to all possibilities, to mitigate the population’s financial position. It will certainly be a great opportunity for the people to reorganize their finances, easing the pending fines and avoiding the consequences of default,” said Santos.
