      Drivers Beware! “Record Traffic Fines Ahead in Turkey”

      From Business Turkey Today

      Extract:
      A new amendment to the Highway Traffic Law is on the way, and it could completely reshape how traffic violations are penalized in Turkey. The government has prepared a proposal that will bring record fines for dangerous driving behaviors, with some penalties reaching hundreds of thousands of lira.

      Examples:
      Heavy Penalties for Risky Driving
      According to the draft law, drivers who endanger traffic safety by weaving dangerously, known as “makas atma,” may face a fine of 180,000 TL.
      Using fake license plates could result in a shocking 280,000 TL fine, while reckless acts like drifting are expected to cost 140,000 TL.
      Driving without a license will carry a fine of 40,000 TL, and those caught driving with a canceled license may face a 200,000 TL penalty.
