Sightings are bound to happen sooner or later. Take this… Thing… For example. This is a result of lack of knowledge on how to make good cars. Of course they always said that mods like this are artistic, right? Besides, who wants to take the blame?

The thing that I don’t understand, is the point of having that screen facing the back of the car? Entertainment for fellow road users?

BTW, we’d love to see more of this if you guys can catch the dude on photos when lurking around at night.

Facts:
Honda Jazz, unknown license plate, Pondok Indah, Jakarta.

Law Against Illegal Street Racers (or Ricers?)

June 22, 2007

Ontario is threatening that the authorities will seize cars that are proven to be used in illegal street racing, and crunch them down like pancakes. And not only Ontario, California already put the law on the roads. Details are available here and here.

Now the question is, when will laws like these be applied here in Jakarta (at least)? Of course, cars like those found in Ontario and California probably can really go that fast, unlike those shitty riceboys that lurk on the streets of Jakarta. But from the point-of-view of safety and not to mention sore to the eyes? Well if there is such law, I’ll definitely vote! This sure is a good way to teach those riceboys a thing or two.
