Wanna drive ??

Interesting rather dangers experience to do in Bali for most non local community or tourist in specific !! Jungle rule applies like 'as long as you don't hit nor got hit by something' then you're good to go ... safety is rather buy-able at the many mini mart around the island or in other words peoples here thought they're indeed own 9lives !!!
The horrific view of 1family with 4members (minimum) riding together in 1 scooter with barely anything to keep their life worth saving is quite a common sight. As peoples who's been living in Europe nor any other developed country, will often hold our breath and cursing to those ignorance with no self respect whatsoever kind of attitude on the streets. Wondering if you as the father letting your 3years old kid sitting alone on your back while you riding on scooter wearing nothing on their head hoping they hold on really tight on you, is a responsible act stating your love towards your kids ?? Does it always cross their mind about ... WHAT IF ?? Nope i don't think that how their mind works !!

Other thing .... letting your under age kids driving their own scooter to go to school everyday without any safety requirement like wearing a helmet or wind proof jacket is other story. Self disciplined-proper education along with driving manner aren't the things that they learn from school,those are the very crucial things that most parents ignored or rather take it for granted.Those kids are only know how to drive the vehicle without knowing the rules and the safety on how to drive properly. So when you have your vacation on the island and happen to see those view,please do understand that the local government has nothing to do to work on that matter, and  for them getting a ticket from the police are very unlikely unless you're tourist riding a scooter here then the police might stop you to check your proper documents.Tragic ?? think again to drive here .... hire a driver that knows how to   play with the system here.
