Helmets sold in Indonesia are subject to the the Indonesia National Stanadard SNI 1811:2007. Contrary to statements made by posters there is no ISO standard for helmets. There are ISO standards for quality control and impact testing which are already part of SNI 1811:2007. The government has...

That may be true but that doesn't mean they are ineffective and only a minority wear "novelty" helmets. The government has a responsibility to mandate safety standards and that is what they are doing. Local economic factors will always have to be considered. I haven't seen any figures for...

Wrong. The laws were passed in June 2009. They come into effect in January 2010.

Correction: the new laws come into effect in January 2010.

The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific has developed a set of safety goals to improve road safety. One of the goals is to standadise the use of headlights on motorcycles by making it the norm to keep motorcycle headlights on at all times. Indonesia recently...

Must be a long trip - he hasn't posted since this string: https://balipod.com/forum/threads/buy-property-in-indonesia-mixed-couple.2738/ Given that there is no proof that any Indonesian woman has lost her land because she is married to a foreigner or that a foreigner has been successfully...

What happened to Kabim? :lol: Seriously anyone who thinks the law is a science is not going to get far. I would give Kabim 9/10 for reading the law in Indonesain but 3/10 for actually interpreting it. And lets face it a lot of legislation is poorly written. In my mind the two visas were...

Not to worry I called BIMC and they assured me they have always had rabies vaccine available. They couldn't remember the last time they administered it though. :roll:

I am not offering advice about how rabies should be treated. If I misread your statement as you misread mine I would say why wait three days? If I was scratched or bitten by a dog, cat, monkey, donkey, bat, person or any other warm-blooded animal in Bali I would seek treatment immediately. Bali...

Your original statement that there is no cure and your follow up statement that if you "get" rabies you will die are both flat out wrong. Perhaps if you hadn't put yourself out on a limb by posting a one sided drama queen opinion in the first place you wouldn't be so upset now at having been...

To make another comparison - you have more chance of being murdered than dying of rabies. Tourists have been murdered in the recent past in their beds, outside bars, on the beach. The thought of being murdered hasn't stopped the millions of tourists visiting every year. It's not something I have...

Thanks udayana glad someone's on the ball. LOL

100% wrong. Even if you are infected, you can be cured if treated within the first couple of weeks. You are obviously misusing the word "get" for "displaying symptoms". Even if you aren't displaying symptoms you can be infected and you have "got" the rabies virus. Based on the probability of...

See what I mean about unqualified advice? You have more chance of being blown up in a restaurant than dying of or even contracting rabies. Why worry?

"how serious is rabies on Bali?" If put into perspective - not serious at all. No tourists have died from rabies or even contracted rabies as far as I know. According to reports than have been a dozen or so deaths from rabies in the past year, far less than from dangerous driving, malnutrition...

Yet here you are advising people to use this imperfect remedy to a non existant problem, passing it off in the first instance as being of no significance except for the small fee.

I couldn't care less and that's what the ignore button is for. Meanwhile I'm sure you won't be offended if I carry on correcting any further misinformation put about by you.

Vandor makes an excellent point and it again demonstrates Kabim's lack of understanding of the possible ramifications caused by a prenup and why it is probably not a viable remedy for many people let alone those already married. To suggest that not following his advice to get a prenup is...

So Vandor is correct you did offer legal advice and that advice is seriously flawed. Of course nothing could happen to shorten a person's life is that what you are suggesting? The personal attacks I guess are a signal that you have exhausted your extensive legal arguments.

Looks like advice to me.
