Turkiye transport minister gets speeding fine over social media post

ISTANBUL: Turkiye’s transport minister has been slapped with a speeding fine after posting a video of himself racing down a highway with the hashtag #TurkiyeAccelerates. On Sunday evening, Abdulkadir Uraloglu posted a video of himself on X driving along a highway near the capital Ankara listening to folk songs and clips of speeches by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In several separate shots that inadvertently show the speedometer, he can be seen clocking up speeds of between 190 and 225 kilometers per hour (118 to 140 miles per hour).
