WHAT IS A SPEED CAMERA FINE?
Speed camera fine is an administrative sanction applied to drivers who exceed the speed limits set for roads. In Turkey, radars placed at specific points measure vehicle speeds and identify drivers who exceed the limit.
Drivers or vehicles that exceed the legal speed limit on a given route are subject to administrative monetary fines. Fines paid early are eligible for a discount; if payment is delayed, additional penalties and interest may be added. Drivers who receive speed camera fines have the right to appeal within legal timeframes following prescribed procedures. You will find more details about these procedures later in the article.

HOW TO PAY A SPEED CAMERA FINE?
Speed camera fines can be paid through several channels. Payment options include:
- Tax office cashier desks,
- GİB Interactive Tax Office,

- Partner banks.
If you prefer to pay online, you can use the GİB Interactive Tax Office or your bank’s internet banking. Other options require visiting the relevant payment point in person.
HOW TO APPEAL A SPEED CAMERA FINE?
If you wish to appeal a speed camera fine, you must file a petition to the Court of Criminal Peace (Sulh Ceza Mahkemesi) within 15 days from the date the fine was served, requesting cancellation of the fine.
Your appeal should be supported by valid and concrete evidence. If the appeal is found to be unfounded, the court may require you to cover all associated costs.
NOTE: Even if you do not have concrete evidence, you may still appeal if you are certain you were not at the location at the time the fine was recorded. The court may review the footage again and decide in your favor if appropriate.
