Common questions

Is the 2026 speeding fine still a percentage?

No. Law 7574 removed the percentage system on 27 February 2026. Excess is measured speed minus the posted limit. In built-up areas 6–10 km/h is 2,000 TL and 66 km/h and above is 30,000 TL. There is no separate 26–30 km/h row.

How long is the 25% traffic-fine discount?

It is not 15 days. It is one month from notice. GİB’s example for a 7 January 2026 notice is 9 February 2026. 15 days is the appeal window at the criminal court of peace.

What is the fine for driving without a licence?

If you never held a licence, article 36/3-a is 40,000 TL. If the licence was seized or cancelled, 36/3-b and 36/3-c are 200,000 TL. If the driver is not the operator, the operator is fined another 40,000 TL.
