to school, seven children in Bali learn about the rules of the road; like to walk on the left side of the road, cross the road at pedestrian crossings, and for drivers to stop at traffic lights when they are red. Two years later, when they get their first brand new Honda 110 cc motorcycle, they discover that what they learned at school can be turned on its head.
Here are the rules of the road for the current generation of nine children:
1. Exceeding inside is very fun, aged bikers hate; they expect you to take them outside only - at least that's what they learned when they were in school (you)
2. Driving with care and attention is for your grandmother.
3. Texting with both hands during the hands-free driving is a little dangerous, but gets real crazy old farts - because they know they will never be able to do
4. Take your baby sister six weeks with you on your bike as you make your morning jog - exercise, we call it - is great fun; you learn how to balance things not only the head but also on your lap; the best master runners while making friends as text messages hands-free.
5. Thrill seekers by car as close as possible to the vehicle in front - better if it's a truck, so you are sure that you can not see what he sees; be able to double or even stop while tail-gating it gets you scratch, you can be proud.
6. The latest statistics show that in ten motorcycle drivers do not wear helmets, for which the fine is half a million rupees ($ 50). As the police stop you if you do not wear helmets anyway, driver or passenger, why bother - it's money, you can bank
7. Never use your mirror when driving - remember that it is not a beauty contest
8. have a 150 cc motorcycle means you have to be in front to show who's boss of the road is. Getting there is sometimes a cost - waiting for the girl driver in front of you move out of the way - but then there's always that beautiful rear end view while you wait
9. best of all is not to talk on your phone - but your mate behind you - or better yet - with training partners on either side of you - doing SPEED aT separates the men from the boys - Or real women single girls
10. But the one who really takes the biscuit - if you're brave enough to try - is to drive on the wrong side of the road zigzagging through traffic oncoming - and then listening to the crisis of the metal as they run into each other! As so few of us have done it, we always try to work on the points you deserve! Emergency services really love it - it gives them something to talk about while fixing the plaster casts on our arms and legs - well at least until coffee time
