Bali cracks down on bare-chested bikers
DENPASAR – Bali Update (www.balidiscovery.com) reports that Denpasar’s traffic police will soon also be taking actions against drivers, presumably male, cruising Bali’s roads bare-chested.
Code-named “Operation Sympathetic” and focused primarily on the streets of Kuta, a police official confirmed that special attention would be given to foreign male tourists driving motorcycles while not wearing a shirt.
Insisting that Bali’s streets and highways were in great need of a “standard of ethics and normative behavior” for motorists, the police spokesman also said a failure to wear a shirt can result in greater injuries when cyclists fall and make contact with asphalt road surfaces.
During the first several days of the “wear a shirt” operation, police were presenting t-shirts as gifts to those caught in the operation.
