A young car enthusiast, whose modified vehicle was banned from traffic for 6 months for fleeing from the police's 'stop' order, stated that he hid his car. Despite the increasing penalties, the young man expressed that he would not give up his car, saying, "I might go to prison, but I won't give up my car. This is a passion for me."
In Adana, 23-year-old İbrahim Emir Yıldırımcan has received multiple fines in recent months for violations such as modified vehicle usage, excessive exhaust, driving without a license, and failing to comply with the police's 'stop' order.
HE RECEIVED 15 FINES IN 4 MONTHS
Yıldırımcan, who was recently given a 6-month traffic ban for fleeing from traffic teams, was found to have hidden his vehicle. Stating that he has received a total of 15 fines in the last 4 months, Yıldırımcan said that the fines amount to approximately 250,000 lira.
THE LAST RESORT WAS TO FLEE
Describing his experiences, Yıldırımcan said, "I received a total of 15 fines within 4 months. The total amount is around 250,000 lira. I am being fined for fleeing from the police, not complying with the 'stop' order, and things like exhaust. We modify the car and spend so much money. Normally, it is prohibited to drive it, but we go out. Even if we drive normally, we are stopped and fined. The last resort was to flee. All my recent fines were for fleeing," he said.
HE HID HIS CAR
Stating that his vehicle was banned from traffic for 6 months because he fled from the police's 'stop' order, Yıldırımcan said he hid his car.
Expressing that the amount will increase even more with new fines, Yıldırımcan said, "When I compare the fines I have received with the new ones, it can easily reach 500,000 lira now. We are moving around comfortably and not bothering anyone, but they still find us," he said.
Yıldırımcan also stated that he was sought by the police after a recent incident on the highway, saying, "The other day when I fled on the highway, they called me. They said, 'You will end up in prison.' I sent the vehicle to a distant location. I also didn't go home for a few days. I am not afraid of being arrested. I enjoy the car business a lot. I will go to prison, but I won't give up that car," he expressed.
Stating that he has put a lot of effort into his vehicle, Yıldırımcan noted that his passion for cars started at a young age, saying, "It is very valuable to me; we have put in a lot of effort. I got into the car business at 14. For the last year, I have also had a passion for racing. This is a passion for me," he said.
