Uraloglu shared a video on his social media account showing himself driving on the highway. In a subsequent post, he admitted that he unintentionally exceeded the speed limit for a short period.
“I took the wheel to see the current condition of the Ankara-Nigde Motorway. During this time, I exceeded the speed limit without realizing it. With this video, I have self-reported."
"Respecting speed limits is mandatory for everyone. The highway gendarmerie has applied the necessary penalty. I will act with much greater caution going forward,” the minister wrote on social media.
The minister also posted an image of the official traffic fine issued against him.
