Drive in Bali with Licence

If you've got international driving permit endorsed for motorcycles or cars you've got no problems. If you've got to get a local licence, which is straightforward and easy but time consuming. your bike or car owner will take in to Denpasar where you will probably find 50 or so other bike or renters lined up for their licence. You're fingerprinted, photographed, given a written test (to which you are told the answers in advance) and the comes the hard part.

After friendly send off from the police examiner, who wishes yuo luck and dispenses the cheerful news that if you fail you can always try again, off you go. Ride once round anti- clockwise, a slalom through a row of tin cans, don't put you feet down and don't fall off or bump into anything else. Eventually everyone passes and is judget fit to be unleashed on Bali's roads.
