Break the traffic experience
Today, I went to the mall to meet a friend. I rode my motorbike from my home to the mall, and I didn't bring the certificate, which proves that it's my bike, because I lost it, and I'm still waiting for a new one. I think I will be safe as long as I don't break the traffic rules. Everything is going fine, and I arrive at the mall. I meet my friend, we are eating, shopping and talking, and that is why I lost track of time. At 5 PM , on the way home, my friend took a taxi and I rode my motorbike again. I'm not familiar with the traffic signs around that mall, that was my mistake! I broke the rules of right of way on a turn, I should have known better. A police officer signaled me to stop, so I stopped.
"Good afternon miss, can you show me your driving licence and the certificate for your motorbike please?" he said
My god, I don't have either one. My licence expired already and my certificate is still in the process of being replaced.
"hm..I'm so sorry sir because I lost my certificate a few days ago, now I'm still waiting for the replacement..."
"You have make many mistakes, I must bring your motor vehicle to the office."
"Oh, no, please don't do that sir!" I begged.
"Ok, if you don't want me to take your motorbike, you have to pay the amercement. 1 mistake carries a fine of 70.000 rupiah, and you made 3 mistakes (no driving licence, no certificate of ownership, and also breaking the traffic rules.)
I took a deep breath.
"Sir, all I have left is 90.000 now, and my home is quite far from here. How about if I give you 50.000, and I promise will not repeat my mistake...."
"ckck... ok, don't do that again."
Oh... thank God.
