Important Warning for Drivers: Renew Your License!

The Turkish Insurance Association (TSB) has warned drivers with expired old-style driver's licenses to prevent potential loss of rights. In a statement, it was emphasized that drivers with expired licenses could face serious issues in insurance transactions and damage processes.

This situation can be quite dangerous for those who have not renewed their licenses. Insurance policies can become invalid without a valid driver's license, which may lead to financial harm for drivers. Therefore, TSB strongly advises drivers who have not renewed their licenses to take necessary actions to avoid negative situations.

Although the driver's license renewal process is quite simple, many drivers still neglect this step. TSB highlighted, referencing some past incidents, that individuals who do not renew their licenses may experience significant loss of rights in the future. Being involved in a traffic accident with an invalid license can also bring legal issues, and in this case, insurance companies may reject compensation claims.

In this context, another important point drivers should pay attention to is that old-style licenses have lost their validity. The government aims to establish a more reliable system with new generation driver’s licenses. Drivers need to renew their documents on time to feel secure during this process and to prevent potential grievances.

TSB reminds that driver’s licenses should be regularly checked, and especially deadlines should not be ignored. It should not be forgotten that renewing your license is not only a legal obligation but also a way to ensure your personal safety.
