Is a Green Card Accident the Compulsory Motor Policy in Turkey?

In short

Whether a Green Card accident is the same document as the compulsory motor policy in Turkey is looked at from the certificate itself. A Green Card is an international document belonging to the vehicle written on it. The domestic compulsory financial-liability policy can be the domestic contract of another vehicle. The two papers are not the same document. A Green Card is not comprehensive motor cover either. The list of member countries is not here.

The certificate is not a copy of the compulsory policy

A Green Card belongs to the vehicle written on it. The domestic compulsory policy also belongs to the vehicle written on it. If two vehicles are in the accident, two separate contracts can stand side by side. One is not treated as a photocopy of the other. Proving the foreign certificate by showing the local compulsory policy mixes the documents up. Whether the card operated in that accident is read from the card itself and from the accident minute. If there is a bureau or correspondent record, that record is in the file as well. An office address or a country name is not lined up here.

If the term of the certificate is written on the card, it is read from there. If it is not written, a day is not added from here. A sum and a rate are not in this text either. The payment item is discussed separately if the policy in hand and the minute are there. That discussion does not turn the Green Card into a comprehensive-cover document. Comprehensive cover is neither a Green Card nor a compulsory financial-liability contract. The three contracts are three separate headings. One is not memorised as carrying the other's refusal by itself.

Member countries are not listed here

Which states have entered the system is not written in this text. The list can change. Being a party or a member is read from the country record in the file. A memorised list does not take the place of the card. A country name is not put in place of the writing on the plate or on the certificate. If the plate and the vehicle on the card are not the same, a sentence of overlap is not built. Saying they look the same does not write which vehicle is meant.

The debate on fault is a separate article. A fault ratio is not given here. The name of the damages item is a separate article as well. If the door of the application is insurance arbitration, that door is read with its own document. The application does not turn the Green Card into the domestic compulsory policy. The petition describes the certificate in hand and the minute. The petition does not complete a list of countries. An invoice can show the cost of repair. An invoice does not by itself widen the scope of the card.

The decision is built according to the name of the paper

The decision does not produce a sum without writing which contract is referred to. This text does not produce a sum. Service shows whom the letter of refusal or acceptance went to. Without service, the result is not completed from here. A registry or registration record can show who the vehicle is. The registration is not a photocopy of the Green Card. If the two documents do not stand side by side, a sentence of identity is not built. Not every file carries the same paper.

The plate on the certificate and the plate of the vehicle in the accident are read separately. If there is no overlap, the card is not declared to be that vehicle's document. The driver and the owner of the vehicle may not be the same person. The driver's identity does not by itself change in whose name the card was issued. A photograph of the damage does not take the place of the minute. If the photograph shows which vehicle was struck, it is placed beside the minute. A repair offer is not a payment decision. The amount of the offer is not written here. If there is a correspondent record, the vehicle in the record and the vehicle on the card should stand side by side. Without a record, a country or bureau name is not lined up from here.

A Çankaya address does not choose the policy

Counsel in Ankara who asks which contract the card resembles does not change the competent authority from the address of the office in Çankaya. The name of the district is not written in place of the country or the vehicle on the certificate. The competent place is read from the dispute's own rule. The door of the office does not make the Green Card the compulsory policy.

How the certificate is read from the document

If the card and the accident minute are there, the file is read from there. A Green Card is not treated as a copy of the domestic compulsory policy. A sum, a rate, or a number of days is not invented from this document either.

Conclusion

A Green Card accident is not the same thing as the compulsory motor policy in Turkey. The certificate belongs to the vehicle it was issued for. The list of member countries is not written. Comprehensive cover is not this document. The frame of fault is in the article on insurance and fault. Optional cover is in the article on optional financial liability. The name of the item is under traffic-accident damages, and the door of the application is under insurance arbitration. The frame is on the criminal law page. The official basis is the Highway Traffic Law No. 2918.
