I bought a new scooter in October and have not yet been able to get my number plate. I was told there was "a police computer problem" but also heard that you now need residency to register a vehicle.

I should have residency in a week or so and hopefully I will then get the scooter sorted out.

One side of things Turkish that is grossly unfair is the fact that no rules are enforced for Turkish people driving overloaded, unsafe scooters but we are easy targets for unscrupulous authorities because of our foreign number plates! I presume that this would be corrected if Turkey were to join the EEC but I don't think it will happen in my lifetime!

The problem is with the new computer form... the traffic police have asked ankara to re-write the program, so that might take a while me thinks..
mean while....... I have a new scooter with no miles on the clock.
Thanks to the brill KKOB..... a one month residency looks a good option.

Just remember that I haven't tested the theory!

Thinking about buying a scooter in someone elses name - someone who has residency - how do you sort out the insurance?

A few people have said that they did this a few years ago before the law changed to allow non-residents to buy without a visa but can you just insure yourself third party to drive any vehicle/scooter or is the insurance linked to the scooter/vehicle not the person??

I am only talking about a scooter not a car.

For the compulsory traffic insurance, it's the vehicle that's insured.

But, you have to be careful if you're stopped when driving/riding a "Yabanci" vehicle if your name isn't on the ownership documents. According to the law, only the spouse and immediate family members, with the same surname, are legally entitled to ride/drive a vehicle registered to a Yabanci.

I seem to remember a discussion on a forum a couple of years ago about a married daughter of a Yabanci being fined for driving a vehicle registered to her father.
