Turkey’s transport minister has been slapped with a speeding fine after posting a video of himself racing down a highway with the hashtag #TurkeyAccelerates.
On Sunday evening, Abdulkadir Uraloglu posted a video of himself on social media driving along a highway near the capital, Ankara, listening to folk songs and clips of speeches by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In several separate shots that inadvertently show the speedometer, he can be seen travelling at speeds of between 190 and 225km/h (118 to 140mph).
The speed limit on that highway in Turkey is 140km/h (85mph).
Several hours later, Uraloglu reposted the footage, admitting he had been fined for breaking the speed limit, saying that in posting the video he had effectively dropped himself in it.
