In Turkey, a significant change has been implemented regarding the sale of second-hand vehicles, as the requirement for a 15-day traffic insurance validity period has been abolished. This new regulation establishes that buyers must first secure their traffic insurance policy before proceeding to obtain the vehicle registration documents from a notary.
The aim of this policy shift is to prevent instances of driving without insurance and to alleviate the unfair challenges faced by previous vehicle owners. Authorities encourage those purchasing second-hand vehicles to visit an insurance agency to arrange their traffic policy prior to registering their car.
This measure is expected to enhance road safety and ensure greater protection for both buyers and sellers in the used car market.
