More than 30 thousand people die victims of traffic accidents in Brazil each year. A grim reality for which there is no really effective measures being taken. There's a State omitted and under legislation take effect which, while providing for the Transit education as a tool for the formation of a responsible driver, not effective, and makes the degree of traffic just another law without effectiveness in the great rol of Brazilian law. This work consists of a bibliographical research and aims to introduce the topic of education for transit as it is planned in the Brazilian Transit Code (CTB) and other related legislation, demonstrating their effective possibilities. Such a path would lead to a more aware driver, the valuation of human life, the reduction of early loss of the economically active population, in turn, would shrink the hospital expenses defrayed by Public Machine with victims of traffic.
