In accordance with the legislation currently in force, drivers who drive at 0.50 promil alcohol level are fined 1,228 Turkish lira and their driver’s license is confiscated for 6 months. In the same case, if the vehicle is not yours and you are intoxicated; 0.21 promil alcohol is sufficient for you to receive a penalty. In other words, if the vehicle does not belong to you and you are more than 0.21 promilde alcoholic, you will receive the same penalty.
At the same time, if you are caught twice for alcohol within 5 years, the fine is higher. In total, the driver who is caught for alcohol 2 times in 5 years is fined 1.539 TL. And at the same time, his driver’s license is confiscated for 2 years. Of course, if it is determined that you have been driving under the influence of alcohol 3 or more times within 5 years, you will be fined 2.473 TL and your driver’s license will be confiscated for 5 years. You can find all these in the Turkish Penal Code.
