Turkey: new fines and regulations for drivers 2023-2024

Fines

There are many cameras installed on the roads in Turkey, so most of the fines are calculated automatically. At the same time, warnings are installed in front of each camera that this section of the road is monitored using a video camera. A fine can also be issued by a traffic police officer. He issues a receipt, which you can pay on the spot and receive a receipt. In case of payment of the fine within 30 days, a 25% discount is provided. If the fine is not paid on time, a penalty fee of 5% is charged monthly for the amount of the fine. At the same time, the maximum amount to be paid cannot exceed the amount of the fine by more than 2 times.
