    A fine the equals £165 is tiny! Especially for a minister

    I like the fines based on income percentage. Anything else just puts a pricetag on doing something illegal

    listening to folk songs and clips of speeches by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

    Lol. Gotta glaze the supreme leader while you drive recklessly.

    “unintentionally exceeded the speed limit for a short period.”

    No one drives at 225km/h unintentionally, lol.

    Actually a nice example that no one should be above the law. But done in the most idiotic and dangerous way possible. Also the fine is probably a drop in a bucket for this guy.

      A fine of £165… Not sure how this works in Turkey but in most places the fine for doing so much over the limit would cost a lot more

    Turkey holding their own government officials accountable? The US isn’t even capable of that most of the time.

    That is very fast! Just looked up average race speeds of F1 cars, which is around 200km/h.

      That includes corners, which can be as low as 50kph, which will lower the average significantly over lap… Straight line they are approaching 340kph on the longest straights, but have hit nearly 380kph in recent history.

      They would be a lot faster if they were allowed to tweak the gear ratios for each circuit rather than them being fixed for multiple circuits, and they didn’t have a fuel flow limit per lap. A twenty year old car nearly hit 400kph in non race spec.

          I would love to know how many owners actually ran out of fuel or near as damn did doing long high speed runs

    That road is mostly empty. I couldn’t give two fucks.

    What an absolute waste of energy.
