It is a private web-site but explains a little of the legal procedures to buy diplomatic cars.
If you would like to purchase a car or learn about the latest developments in the used car market,
please visit www.sahibinden.com or www.arabam.com.
If you are planning to purchase a new car, there are salesrooms of various car brands along Konya and
Eskişehir Roads.
1.4. TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
Traffic violations policy is based on the principle that persons enjoying privileges and immunities in
Turkey are nevertheless obliged to respect Turkish laws and regulations.
When members of staff of Foreign Missions are cited for traffic offences, the Protocol Department
notifies the alleged offender's mission of the incident. The Ministry neither intervenes with the police
to contest cited violations on behalf of persons with immunity, nor does it have the authority to
dismiss violations.
Staff members of the Missions will continue to call traffic police officers in case of car crashes.
“Accident Reports for accidents resulted with economic loss” practice started as of 1 April 2008 does
not cover vehicles with diplomatic/consular plates.
Traffic fines:
1st Step: If you exceed the speed limit of 82 km between 10%-30% in the city center, you will be fined
189,00 TL Turkish Liras (If you pay in 15 days you will get 25 % discount which means 142 TL and you
will receive 10 penalty points.)
If you exceed the speed limit between 10 % and 30 %, it is 189,00 TL and 10 penalty points.
In case you exceed the speed limit more than 30 %; 392,00 TL (Cash 294 TL) penalty plus 15 penalty
points.
2nd Step: If you exceed the speed limit of 82 km more than 30% in the city center, you will be fined
392 Turkish Liras (If you pay in 15 days you will get 25 % discount which means 294 TL) and you will
receive 15 penalty points. If you repeat exceeding the speed limit 5 times in a year your driver licence
will be taken back.
If you are involved in a traffic accident, you should not move your car unless you have an accident
report in your car or you can reach an agreement with other driver. However, if you call the police,
both drivers may be fined and your penalty points be revised.
