"What?"
On Wednesday in Istanbul, plain-clothes police pretending to be
customers got into a taxi and asked the driver to take them to the
Kağıthane area. In response, the driver said "I won't go there - too
much traffic." The policemen then identified themselves and the
taxi driver tried to flee.
After a brief chase, the driver, Bayram T., was caught. An
investigation revealed that he had no driver's license and because
of various traffic violations he won't be eligible to get a new one
until 2081 (!).
Police fined Bayram T. 13,205 TL (about $500) and the owner of
the taxi 8,190 (about $300). Further investigations determined that
Bayram T. was caught for driving drunk in 2012 and his license was
taken away then. Nevertheless, Bayram T. continued to drive and
was caught another 15 times for drunk driving (!).
Bayram T. used others' taxis for 4-5 hours and was cited for violations
using 10 different taxis. On 29 November 2020, the Istanbul
municipality issued this tweet about Bayram T.: "this driver has been
caught driving without a license three times in the last three months.
He has no license because of drunk driving violations and has been
banned from driving."
With regard to the restoration of Bayram T.'s license on 26 June 2081 (!),
he will be able to get his license back then if he gets a successful
"psychotechnical" report and is cleared by a psychiatric professional.
