Kargın also wants warning signs in Turkish henceforth!
Veli Kargın, an Ankara lawyer, learned from a notice he
received from the Kayseri Regional Traffic Supervision Office,
that on 12 June 2024 between the hours of 17:23 and 17:52
he had exceeded the speed limit on the Kayseri-Malatya
highway by 1 kph (!) and was fined 1,506 TL (about $44).
Kargın, though, appealed the fine noting that "with the 10 kph
tolerance, the speed limit on this road is 121 kph and I was
fined for going 122 kph. At any given moment, in
consideration of gradient and other road conditions, exceeding
the speed limit by 1 kph is normal. I request that the fine be
voided."
A court decision on the matter came down in Kargın's favor
and his fine was voided. The court declared that "It was not
easy for the driver to adjust to the traffic flow in light of the
road conditions, in regard to him having exceeded the speed
limit by 1 kph. Additionally, his speedometer reflecting such
a slight difference and him noticing it was problematic.
İn light of the radar system's sensitivities, weather and other
conditions it is not reasonable to consider 1kph to be over
the speed limit."
