        His wife is thinking: "Oh İbrahim, gotta get you into
an anger management program!"

A dispute over "cutting in front" broke out between a female driver 
and an individual named İ.B. on the 5. Levent section of the TEM 
Highway in Eyüpsultan. Stepping out of his vehicle, İ.B. verbally 
abused the female driver and struck her phone. The driver was issued 
a fine of 180,000 TL (about $4,000!), and both his driver's license 
and vehicle were confiscated for 60 days.

Upon seeing the woman recording the incident on her mobile phone, 
İ.B. struck the phone in an attempt to stop the recording. The incident 
was captured on the mobile phone camera anyway. Acting on the footage, 
officers from the Plainclothes Traffic Enforcement Unit—part of the 
Traffic Inspection Branch Directorate—launched an investigation. 

After examining the footage, the police identified the driver as İ.B. He
was apprehended by police teams and fined 180,000 TL for the offense 
of "persistently tailing another vehicle in traffic with the intent to attack, 
or exiting the vehicle for this purpose." The vehicle was banned from 
traffic for 60 days, and his driver's license was confiscated for the same 
period. I.B. was handed over to the police station for the initiation of 
judicial proceedings.
