Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced the details of a bill that introduces new penalties for drivers performing acrobatic maneuvers in traffic. Such actions will now result in a 60-day suspension of the driver's license and a 60-day ban on the vehicles from traffic.

DRIVERS PERFORMING ACROBATIC MOVES IN TRAFFIC ARE IN TROUBLE

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya stated in a post on his social media account that the driver Ö.E., who lifted the front wheel of a motorcycle and endangered traffic in Alanya, Antalya, has been caught. The driver was fined under the Highway Traffic Law No. 2918.

PENALTIES ARE INCREASING

He reminded that the current law only imposes fines for such behaviors and emphasized that the new regulation will provide deterrence. Yerlikaya said, "According to the new Traffic Law Proposal, the driver's license will be suspended for 60 days, and the motorcycle will be banned from traffic for 60 days. Under the current law, drivers performing acrobatic maneuvers in traffic do not have their licenses revoked nor their vehicles banned from traffic. When the new regulation comes into effect, this driver will not be able to drive on the same road with us for 60 days."

With the new proposal, for the first time, the regulation will be legally established; drivers performing acrobatic maneuvers will be fined 46,000 TL, their driver's licenses will be revoked for 60 days, and those who commit the same violation for the second time within five years will have their licenses canceled, and their vehicles will be banned from traffic for 60 days.

"REPORT THOSE WHO ENDANGER THE SAFETY OF OUR CITIZENS TO 112"

Minister Yerlikaya also called on citizens, asking them to contact the 112 Emergency Call Center if they witness such dangerous behaviors in traffic, and he stated: "When you see drivers performing acrobatic maneuvers in traffic, endangering both their own lives and the safety of our citizens, please report them to our 112 Emergency Call Center. We will take the necessary actions."
