The Real Roadway Possesor in Indonesia

Biker may be a figure that is considered to be cool on the road. Why? The figure of the biker community is always ready to travel far riding motorcycle, bringing equipments, and those make him look impressive.

Unfortunately, not all bikers realize that becoming a motor rider is not as simple as riding it when we watch especially for motor riders in Indonesia. Indonesian bikers are very different to the other bikers from all of the world such as Europe and America especially in legal riding permission case.

In Europe and America, to get such license is not an easy thing. Pretty much different in Indonesia. In Indonesia, to obtain riding license is quite easy and because of this ease, there are many people who haven’t created any license for riding permission because of this ease, what a weird isn’t it?

In Indonesia, there are so-called “kings” of the road who make others should be careful if seeing one of them. Who are they? Here they are:
1.    Mom or lady bikers.
2.    Motorcycle gangs
3.    Group of motorbikers

If you visit Indonesia and meet one of those people, you’d better to give way to them first. You can imagine if you drive your vehicle in Indonesia and see this group of mom bikers who is in touring and you decide not to give them way, you may know what will happen afterward, something bad will happen, haha, just kidding.

Next, there are some reasons why Indonesian females are “dangerous” riders. Lady bikers in Indonesia oftenly lacks of understanding in riding rules. Even though we realize male bikers also do the same in some cases such as riding without wearing helmet and so on.

There are some photos which we took from various sources. These portraits are very saddening since they ride that way. Hopefully with this, riders become more aware and not to break any rules.
