No mention of losing your licence for drink driving disgusting. It kills people.

It would be up to the court to decide length of ban for traffic offences. The list published, purely relates to the increase in fines. Obviously courts can add losing licence/imprisonment for more serious offences, such as drunk driving.

Blimey waiting to cross the road on Friday, I could have made thousands of tl for them. In one short session (phones, a car jump red light, dumping rubbish, and waited for someone to let me cross zebra crossing). Took my life in my own hands eventually, even when light showed I could cross. Its OK to set these laws, but getting the police to enforce them - regardless of whose relative they are, is another matter.

Using a phone whilst driving one of the most causes of accidents.?

Funnily enough I read another article yesterday with a new set of fines which are more than the ones I originally posted. The amount for drink driving is a lot more than in the original post.

Persons who use mobile phones while driving, who drive without inspection and navigation, will have to pay a fine of 700 TL if they are detected.
People who are found to be driving with alcohol will face fines between 3500 TL and 7000 TL.
Those who exceed the speed limit will pay a fine between 700 TL and 1750 TL.
 
THE PENALTY IS HERE:
Using a mobile phone while driving: 700 TL

I drove into Girne via the Karaoglanoglu bye-pass about 12.30ish yesterday and I've NEVER seen so many drivers obeying the speed limits, no over taking and even down to 30 at two roundabouts. The fact that police had pulled over 7 cars up towards Ezic Premier was another factor. No cameras, just drivers standing there with paper work in their hands.

BB, If the increase in fines has a small part in that behaviour, all to the good, we shall just have to wait and see.
I think that in the case of drunk driving as well as fine/loss of licence, the vehicle should be confiscated. The prospect of losing that, may make some consider their habits a bit more and drive responsibly.

2000 TL for reversing, bit strong innit?
