Teaching driver's license applicants that there will be rules in place within 50 years whereas if you infringe basically you will be treated like a tourist,hit in the wallet.That's how long it would take for the polisi to learn the basics of road sense.If the cops knew road laws they may have something better to do than sitting in a dogbox smoking clove cigs & comparing their 'got that bule better than you!'successes.Start at the cause then work out how to make things safer.
There are no road rules in Bali that are policed.Big bus has right of way over smaller vehicles,truck over car,car over bike,bike over pedestrian/typhoid trolley.
If the warning devices on vehicles didn't work the drivers probably wouldn't venture past their driveways.Shall we start by cutting some wires?
