FAQ
How can I object to a traffic penalty that I think is wrongly or unfairly written?
Any objection to a traffic penalty that is considered to be wrongly and unfairly written is made to the Traffic Court in that province, or to the Criminal Court of Peace in cases where there is no Traffic Court.
Can I bring the vehicle I purchased from abroad to Türkiye?
Vehicles with foreign license plates brought from abroad can be used in Türkiye within the period given by the relevant Customs Directorate. This period is 2 years from the moment the vehicle enters Türkiye. At the end of 2 years, the vehicle must stay abroad for 185 days in order to be used in Türkiye again. After 2 years, the vehicles used in Türkiye are banned from traffic and the owners shall face a fine.
How can I find out if my vehicle is a change?
In order to determine whether a vehicle is a change or not, the engine and vehicle identification numbers on the vehicle registration certificate must be compared with the engine and vehicle identification numbers on the vehicle. Although the engine and vehicle identification numbers on the vehicle and the numbers on the registration certificate must be exactly the same, it will be appropriate to have the engine and vehicle identification numbers examined by technical staff (chamber of mechanical engineers, highways inspection station), as there is a possibility of change in case of scraping, erasure, falsification, welding marks, and etc. on the numbers on the vehicle.
How can I object to the traffic administrative penalty decision report issued on the registration plate of my vehicle?
Pursuant to Article 27 of the Misdemeanor Law No. 5326, an objection can be made to the Traffic Courts within 15 days from the date of notification of the fine (including the day of notification) and to the authorized Criminal Court of Peace where there are no Traffic Courts.
What happens if I drive under the influence of alcohol?
The main issue to be considered when driving under the influence of alcohol is the promil amount. Legally, drivers are subject to sanctions when they are found to be drunk over 0.50 promil. As long as drivers do not exceed the legal promile amount, there is no sanction for drinking a small amount of alcohol. However, considering the possibility that the alcohol consumed may have different promile values from person to person, we do not recommend driving even if a small amount has been taken. If you are detected to be intoxicated above the legal promile amount, you will be subject to a penalty of 4.064,00 TL as of 2023. The penalty for driving under the influence of alcohol is not limited to a fine. At the same time, the vehicles of drivers who drive under the influence of alcohol are banned from traffic in some cases, and their driver’s licenses are confiscated for 6 (six) months.
What happens if I refuse to use the breathalyzer?
The penalty for not blowing the breathalyzer is set as 9.869,00 TL as of 2023. In addition to the fine, the driver’s license will be confiscated for 2 years.
What is the penalty point system?
Drivers who are penalized for an act that is criminalized by the Road Traffic Law are given penalty points for each penalty they receive, the principles of which are determined in the regulation. Drivers who receive a total of 100 penalty points within one year from the date of the traffic offense are deprived of their driving licenses for (2) months and are required to attend training.
