Thanks for bringing this up, do the meters change over the same day with some type of internal clock or could a dishonest driver charge more from the card if his meter was adjusted before the others.
On the meter, there is one of those plastic/wire tamper proof clips. The clip is colour-coded according to the current adjustment in price, if you know the newest colour you should know if the meter is up-to-date and the card should not be used. Offered as a bit of trivia, I do not know, nor worry to much, what January's colour is to be. As one perpetually late, I just worry about getting through the gawd-awful Rio traffic in time to catch my flight. An hour and 20 minutes December 21st, copacabana to GIG!
