Following earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş, a traffic fine issued to an earthquake victim from Hatay for going to another city was canceled due to the expiration of the vehicle’s inspection period. The earthquake victim residing in Hatay, on their way from Kahramanmaraş to Bursa after the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş, had their traffic fine canceled upon the initiative of the Public Ombudsman Institution. According to the amicable solution decision of the Public Ombudsman Institution, a person residing in Hatay was stopped by traffic police while on their way to Bursa with their vehicle on February 6, 2023. During the questioning, it was understood that the inspection period of the vehicle had expired, and an administrative fine was imposed on the driver.
