I used to find that a Yabanci plate was a fine opportunity for them to practice their English and for me practice my Turkish. Got pulled over several times by the Jandarma and Polis.
Only got fined once, near Antalya, and that was in May because I'd forgotten to pay my tax in January. Got a reduced fine because I'd cheekily asked for "Indirim" and got further discount for prompt payment.
The funniest stop was near Konya at about 3am. I was passenger in my car when we were stopped but because the car was registered to me I had to deal with the officers. There were 4 other cars in the lay-by and we were all breathalised. That's 4 Turkish drivers, and me the passenger, using the same breathaliser. By the time it got to me at the end of the line it had a distinct garlic taste to it. God knows what would have happened if I'd given a positive reading.
