An American friend of mine asked at the police staion years ago when he arrived in Bali, do you have a book on the road rules for driving in Indonesia...The copper looked at him puzzled and said there isn't any such book available.
So my friend asked him how do people study the road rules... they don't ,was the reply.
Don't know about the poilice not having a book these days, but my wife started to learn how to drive a car a week ago..
Ofcourse I accompanied here to the school to help choose what package would be most suitable for her. After choosing the lessons, I asked the guy what about theory-lessons, his answer 'well, she will learn that in the car whilest driving'...so I started laughing and said ok..but you must have some book with road-rules so she can learn at home? no, but it is not so hard to understand the rules on the road he answered. So I said, but then for sure the first few lessons in the car will be on some sort of big (empty) parking area, his answer 'ehm, no she will just go on the streets'.. Fortunately I already had given some basic lessons myself to my wife, else I wouldn't have agreed to this.
Oh and there was a package, price 1.6jt for 24 hours of lessons and after the 24 hours you get a certificate from the drivingschool and a drivinglicense.
@fred2...I have to plead guilty on both accounts, 4x4 and HD :highly_amused:
ow and yes, girls are worse then boys on bikes, till recently my wife would go on her bike like this...headset mp3 volume 8, helmet lossely strapped (hot she said), short pants and short-sleeve shirt and then zig-zagging with about 60 in between cars..now it's totally different, after she witnessed a friend of mine getting hit by a truck and not survive the accident, she stays left..no earplugs..helmet tight..and doing about 40. She said she never realised/thought about what could happen, pictures of people dying in traffic didn't have any effect on her..but now, she realises because we could have been lying there dead..
