The city officals are 'cracking down' on motorbike riders amd trying to enforce safety and well maintained bikes. This is a huge step forward and sadly to use another idiom another bridge too far as the motorbike is the most common form of transport and used by rich and poor alike.
Most bikes are well kept but there are those that dont have helmets, lights and carry a family of 4 on it. The police dont really up hold the law as they know it is almost impossible to enforce as it effects so many poeple.
However I am seeing more bikes with lights on in the day.
In time maybe people will change. But in the housing areas and slums, who can say.

Well, points for effort. I did spot that Helem = Crash Helmet, which may explain a lot from the 4 times I went through Indo..
Thanks for the information. Jakarta is a bustling town, you can find shopping centres and luxury hotels. Most of the people are involved in plantation, they mostly use motorbike taxis and three wheelers for this purpose. Majority of people work in metal shops, small scale factories and vending food. You may find brave people in Kampung Pulo located in the core of Ciliwung as they live happily despite facing flood problem. For more details refer Jakarta Indonesia
Hey, the fine charged there is very high.
Yes the fines are high but they are there as a warning, sadly due to corruption and the lack of will power to enforce the road laws, most of the above gets largely ignored, especially in the suburbs where it is almost impossible to enforce.
250,000 = 25 usd or thereabouts.
