Oh also if you unfortunately get the front sandwiched between a

ROFLMAO! I do believe I've just wet myself :-)

We need more details...

The cops then asked me why I wasn't on the bike path. Bike path? I
asked.
Over there. (Points at pavement.) That's not a bike path and it's full
of pedestrians.

Got to love that turtle-like, traffic-calming device placed eight
pavement bricks in front of supposed "bike path" crossing with 16. Sk.!
Or is it really a parking space divider?

What the white Audi. I thought Audi drivers were a global phenomenon.


Cop's not amused. Foreigners immune to his god like powers of copdom
are not usual. I asked him exactly which law says bikes have to be on
the pavement. He had no idea at all.(Probably because there isn't one)

I searched for the text of a Turkish Road Code regulation online, but
could not find one. Seems like bicycles are not allowed speeds beyond
30 km/h in cities, 50 outside. Has anyone seen a link to the real
thing?

Regulation is mostly done by having roadblocks where the police check car
documents. These are all handily published in the paper so if your car is
not papered up properly you can avoid the cops.

Rules here.

Good luck with that. Auto translate will mangle it up badly.
