A Romanian tourist had a nightmare holiday in Turkey. The police left her without a car and she doesn’t even know if she can get back home. The reasons why the Turkish police decided to confiscate the car are absolutely mind-blowing.
Tourists must pay attention to Turkish legislation PHOTO The truth
Trips to foreign countries can turn out to be a real disaster if we don’t know the customs and legislation well. Such an experience was experienced by a Romanian woman. She is asking for advice from netizens to be able to return home, legally, from Turkey, after an almost unbelievable incident.
The stupid reason you can run out of a car in Turkey
The woman says she arrived on September 3 in Istanbul, Turkey. He came in his own car, but let his travel partner drive his vehicle. The woman says that upon entering Turkey their documents were checked and they were allowed to pass. Things changed, however, after they were stopped at a routine check in the Istanbul area. The Turkish traffic police, after checking the documents, fined the driver and also confiscated the Romanian’s car. The reason is quite hallucinatory. The driver did not have a power of attorney from the owner of the car to be able to drive it. And this in the conditions in which the owner of the car was in the seat on the right, next to the driver. The Romanian says that it was very difficult for her to get along with the police because they did not speak English. Only through google translate. In addition, the police refused to give him any written evidence of the seizure of the car. The Romanian doesn’t even know where her car was taken and how she can get it back.
“I don’t know if I can leave Turkey without a car”
The woman says that she also called the Romanian consulate in Turkey, but that she only received a few phone numbers, from possible translators in Turkish, and contradictory information. The Romanian woman does not even know if she can leave Turkey, given that the customs show that she entered the country with a vehicle. “I called the Consulate, but the people there told me that this is the Turkish legislation and that’s about it. They just gave me a few phone numbers of unresponsive translators and scolded me for daring to leave the EU without doing my homework. Today, almost 24 hours after picking up the car, I managed to find out its location with the help of the application on my phone. I still don’t know how long I will have to stay in Turkey, what fine I have to pay (the driver’s has already been paid), I don’t have any documents issued by the police and the consulate gives me stone-faced and contradictory information. In addition, I don’t know if I can leave Turkey without a car, given that I appear at customs as having entered with it.“, the woman posted on social networks.
Under these conditions, the woman asks for the help of people who can help her to dialogue with the Turkish authorities, possibly someone who knows the Turkish language. Just to find out how to proceed.
