All power to young people pushing for a War On Plastic. Probably should start at home and educate their parents that burning plastic and dumping it into rivers is bad.
"Just today we drove down Gatsu and a group of kids were on motor bikes, doing wheels-up, laughing and giggling as they crossed a busy intersection. A policeman saw the event and did nothing. Those kids were clearly underage for any licence..."
davita. I see this every day of the week. Few locals seem to care about it, or if they do, they don't want to confront the adults who give the children the motorbikes in the first place.
The police are complacent supposedly because they figure the kids wouldn't have enough money to pay them. (Too much work to impound the bikes and get the owners to front up to get them back. Either that, or they're just too lazy - bules are better pickings.)
About 15 years ago, I saw a young kid trying to drive a Daihatsu Feroza in Ubud. I couldn't figure out how he could.
The answer? There were two other kids down below pushing the pedals!
Haven't seen any babies driving cars lately - they've got motorbikes now.
