Turkish police traffic checkpoints
Watch for temporary checkpoints and traffic stops. These are usually for one of three reasons:
(1) routine license and registration checks;
(2), to provide for certain criminal individuals;
(3) DUI (driving under the influence [of alcohol or drugs]) checks the finish are usually late at night and on weekends in areas with restaurants and clubs.
If you stood still, ready to show your passport and driver’s license and vehicle registration.
Sometimes vehicles are seen by the police immediately, that an alien drives are waved.However, one should never assume, you do not stop! Make sure to understand the signal of the officer, type. If the signal to stop and further, you can run into serious difficulties.
If you are involved in an accident – even if no fault is found – a Breathalyzer or blood test is almost always required. If you are not as responsible for the accident, positive test results will not be used against you by the police. However, they can be used by insurance as a reason to deny an accident claim.
The unofficial “protocol” for military and jandarma (policemen, paramilitary police) checkpoint in the eastern provinces in the night is on the inside of the vehicle lights and dim the lights when stopping for inspection. If your vehicle with tinted roll, the driver’s side window. This makes it easier for soldiers to identify and make sure the vehicle and its occupants.
