The Ministry of Interior announced that the news and claims circulating on some social media accounts regarding the draft amendment to the Highway Traffic Law, stating that "the 10% tolerance margin granted to drivers for radar fines has been removed, and drivers exceeding the speed limit by even 1 km/h will be fined," do not reflect the truth.

In relation to the draft amendment to the Highway Traffic Law, the Ministry of Interior has made a statement regarding the news and claims circulating on some social media accounts, stating that "the 10% tolerance given to drivers for radar fines has been removed, and fines will be imposed on drivers exceeding the speed limit by even 1 km/h."
IS THE 10% TOLERANCE ON SPEED LIMIT BEING REMOVED?
In a statement made from the ministry's social media account, it was noted that the news and claims in question do not reflect the truth.
"THE INITIAL EXCESS TOLERANCE APPLICATION CONTINUES"
In the ministry's statement, it was mentioned that instead of a proportional percentage increase in speed fines, a gradual numerical increase and differentiation between inside/outside urban areas are specified in the draft law. In this context, it was stated: "In urban areas, a 10% tolerance is applied to the speed limit of 50 km/h, and the first tier fine is imposed at 56 km/h. In the new regulation, the first tier fine in urban areas also starts at 56 km/h."
Currently, a 10% tolerance is applied to the speed limit of 90 km/h on two-way highways outside urban areas in the existing legislation. In the new regulation, a 10 km/h tolerance is foreseen for the first tier speed fine on two-way highways outside urban areas.
As a result, the INITIAL EXCESS tolerance application of 5 km/h within urban areas and 10 km/h outside urban areas CONTINUES. Respectfully announced to the public."
