Drivers who fail to comply with campus traffic and parking rules and regulations will receive a \u201cnotice of traffic violation\u201d and be charged with violation points based on the University\u2019s Violation Point System. When necessary, disciplinary actions may also be taken besides implementing the violation point system.<\/p>\n
VIOLATION POINTS<\/strong><\/p>\n Exceeding the speed limit up to 50% 6 POINTS IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VIOLATION POINT SYSTEM<\/strong><\/p>\n The Violation Point System covers all vehicles registered\u00a0\u00a0 at the Bilkent University\u2019s system. Vehicles that are at\u00a0 fault and not registered in the system are reported to the Security and Civil Defence Office. Depending on the type of violation, entry to the University campus may be restricted for those vehicles.<\/p>\n 2.2.1.\u00a0 Students who have exceeded 16 points due to violation of traffic rules during their studies at University and other drivers on campus who have exceeded 16 points\u00a0 at any given time (irrespective of a time period) are suspended from driving on campus for three months (summer and semester breaks are excluded in the calculation). The suspension is extended by one week for every extra violation point when drivers exceed 16 violation points. During this period the driver’s privileges (barrier cards, etc.) related to driving on University campus are cancelled.\u00a0 This information is sent to the Faculty\/School Head and the permanent address of the driver in writing and via e-mail to the driver<\/p>\n 2.2.2.\u00a0 Drivers who are suspended from driving on campus must return their vehicle stickers to the Security Office within 15 days. In the case that they fail to return their vehicle sticker within 15 days of the suspension period, they are suspended for double the original suspension time.<\/p>\n 2.2.3.\u00a0 The suspension period of the drivers, who are found to be driving on campus despite the ban (within the scope of items 2.2.1. and 2.2.2.) are suspended for double the original suspension time.<\/p>\n 2.2.4.\u00a0 At the end of the suspension period, drivers need to attend the Traffic Orientation Program carried out by the Security Office and are required to get a passing score on the exam in order for their ban to be lifted. Drivers can also attend the Traffic Orientation Program when offered during the suspension period.<\/p>\n 2.2.5.\u00a0 In the case that a driver who has been given a campus ban violates the rules again, penalties increase by 50%.<\/p>\n 2.2.6.\u00a0 If a driver is found to be driving without a driver’s license, the driver is assisted in taking the vehicle out of campus.\u00a0 An incident report form is kept and Security General Directorate Traffic Office is informed accordingly regarding the offence.<\/p>\n 2.2.7.\u00a0 Violation points of the drivers, who have accumulated 8 points and below in the 2017-18 academic year, will be reset. Those who have accumulated more than 8 violation points in the 2017-18 academic year, will have 8 points deducted.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n CASES REQUIRING DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n OFF CAMPUS TRAFFIC RULE\u00a0 VIOLATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n Due to the cooperation among Bilkent University, Ankara Security General Directorate and the Gendarme, the University\u2019s Security and Civil Defence Office is always informed about the traffic rule violations made by the vehicles registered at\u00a0 the University. Thus, all drivers are subject to the same restrictions and receive points even if the traffic violation (speeding, dangerous and\/or drunk driving, etc.) takes place off campus.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TRAFFIC VIOLATION NOTIFICATION<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNotification of Traffic Violation\u201d is sent to those who violate the rules and regulations. Based on the type of the traffic rule violation, it is reported to the driver\u2019s records.<\/p>\n In the case that the driver has an objection to the notification, he\/she should directly go to the Security and Civil Defence Office and apply in writing. If the driver wishes to appeal against the Security and Civil Defence Office\u2019s decision, an appeal form should be filled out and submitted to the Head of the Traffic Committee.<\/p>\n After registering in the system, notifications are sent to the drivers who have traffic violations via e-mail. It is then the driver\u2019s responsibility to check his\/her e-mail regularly.<\/p>\n Those who have an entry ban can contact the Traffic Office to renew their stickers, after the ban is lifted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Drivers who fail to comply with campus traffic and parking rules and regulations will receive a \u201cnotice of traffic violation\u201d and be charged with violation points based on the University\u2019s Violation Point System.
