İnegöl driver Celal Ç. fined 65,000 TL for unlicensed, drunk driving

Police in İnegöl, Turkey, stopped a light‑commercial vehicle (plate 16 BLY 779) after suspecting a traffic violation. The driver, 19‑year‑old Celal Ç., was found to have no driver’s licence and to be 1.5 ‰ over the legal alcohol limit. He attempted to delay the breath‑test by requesting water and using various excuses, but a subsequent test confirmed intoxication.

The traffic bureau imposed a total fine of 65,000 TL – 40,000 TL for driving without a licence and 25,000 TL for drunk driving. During the investigation it emerged that the vehicle’s registration photo belonged to Celal’s twin brother, Resul Ç., whose own licence was also revoked for a prior alcohol‑related offence. Celal Ç. was taken to the police station for questioning.

The case highlights strict enforcement of traffic and alcohol‑related laws by the İnegöl District Police.
