Phone while driving: read the ticket line

73/c is holding a mobile or in-car phone while driving. The amount rises on a repeat finding. The 2026 ladder is on the ticket; this chart does not invent it.

73/c is the driver holding a mobile phone or similar communications device while moving. Hands-free use, without picking the device up, is not this article. The police guide writes a ladder that rises on a repeat finding.

OCR of the 2026 PDF row broke that ladder, so this chart does not invent a single 73/c figure. The amount, repeat order and licence days on the ticket are the source. The 25% early-payment discount is still one month from notice.

  • 73/a driving in a way that disturbs others 1,000 TL, 10 points.
  • 73/b throwing or spilling from a vehicle 1,000 TL, 10 points.
  • 72/1 loud sound and music 3,000 TL, 10 points.

Red-light 47/1-b was also not reduced to a single invented figure for the same reason. On both articles the ticket line is the source.
