Sounds good so far. Allied to that, does anyone know roughly what the speeding fine is, ie speed cameras flashed! ?? And how they collect it now - used to be when you crossed the border.

The best money raiser for the Police would be to stand on the side of the road, pull in all drivers using a phone. Confiscate it on the spot and tell them it can be collected from the police station for 1000tl Fine/payment

They would clear the countries debt in a week.

I don't know what the speeding fine is nowadays, but am sure it is related to the minimum wage, and is on a scale, going up the more you are over the speed limit. The fine is delivered to your home address by an outside contractor, but can take some considerable time to come through.

Speeding fine currently just under 700tl, just paid it!

If you go to the police station in Girne, you can get them to check if you have a speeding fine.

We had a 440 tl speeding fine delivered by motorbike on Saturday it had been incurred end of June so looks like they are catching up with the backlog!
