If he's on sosial budaya and he doesn't have an International Driving Permit endorsed to ride a motorcycle, then the only option is to renew his tourist license every month.

Iv been picked up by the cops 5 times in the last 2 months for no helmet. Everytime the poilci try get money off me i just tell them to give me a ticket. It dosnt go down to well but so far everytime its been a warning. Although one time i was a bit lucky because my liscence was expired but i just had to call my cop mate and he got me out of it so that was all good
I think the point is how stupid you are riding with out a helmut come on! :highly_amused:yea i know its not the wisest thing to do. But i only do it around kuta at low speeds. The point of the story was more about asking for the ticket and never recieving one . . .
Its not the speed which will kill you its the fall . You can fall off that bike when its stationary , and hit your head and still be killed . Anyway ...., knowing that you will be targeted in kuta for not wearing a helmet is enough reason alone to wear oneBut i only do it around kuta at low speeds. .
for an adult not to wear a helmet, that's their own (dumb) choice but when you see a 5yo/6yo kid on the back with no helmet as well (as I do all the time at dropoff time outside my kid's school) that's when my blood boils. just because you're in bali doesn't mean you're suddenly bulletproof. those cigarettes you smoke here cause as much cancer as the cigarettes back home. and when you fall off a bike, it hurts just as much. yes, I agree it is an incredible feeling of freedom to not wear a helmet (especially if you come from a nanny state like australia) but is it really worth it? not sure.
Hi Fred2! I was following the rules :icon_e_sad: Well i thought i was! I was the only one picked out of lots of riders jumping a red.. When i clearly wasnt! In the middle of lots of bikes going through a green light. Anyway, next time i guess i need to let them take my Int L and head to denpasar to dispute it. :icon_rolleyes:
