totally agree with you I used to drive car in bali and my husband and I went everywhere on motor bike back in the good old days.Not now its far to dangerous plus if you have an accident and your a tourist watch out you will be paying whether its your fault or not.Theres heaps of little clauses in travel insurance that sometimes wont cover you for certain accidents also there are so many dangerous drivers balinese and other countries.We were run into up the back and we were parked in poppies lane by a swedish girl who just hired a bike but couldnt use brakes she went off to hospital lucky none of us were hurt.People should look up the statistics of how many people are injured and die in bali everyday I think they will be shocked my advise is same as you if you dont know bali like the back of your hand leave it up to the locals to get you around.
