When a traffic violation is committed, a Traffic Administrative Fine Decision Record is issued with the detection of this violation, and this record shows what the violation is, when it happened and the amount of the traffic fine you have to pay.
Against the Traffic Administrative Fine Decision Record, it is necessary to apply for an appeal to the criminal court of peace closest to your place of residence within 15 days at the latest from the date of notification of the decision. If the application is not made within this period, the administrative fine is finalised.
Citizens have the right to appeal within 15 days from the date of the fine imposed by the traffic officer against the face of the citizen, and within 10 working days from the date of notification to the person for fines written on the licence plate.
When objecting to a traffic fine, some documents must be submitted to show your rightness. In the light of the article of law, these documents are as follows;
- The petition written to the Criminal Judge of Peace in your settlement
- Traffic Administrative Fine Decision Report notification paper
- Traffic Administrative Fine Decision Record
- Documents related to the vehicle for which a traffic fine was issued
- Photocopy of the vehicle owner’s driving licence and identity card
- If the traffic fine has been paid, bank receipt of payment
After the application to appeal the traffic fine, the judge decides on the file based on the information contained in the petition without a hearing. However, in some cases, the judge may call the parties to listen to the parties on the specified day and time. If the parties wish, they can have their lawyers with them at this time. The result of the decision to appeal the traffic fine is sent to the persons by notification.
