Because the companies\nthemselves, the manufacturers, have anticipated such situations,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Faizal will ask all taxi operators to re-educate all\ntheir drivers to handle high-risk accident moments, to avoid occurrences\nlike the one at Bekasi Timur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, not only to the drivers, but also to us here who might be using\nelectric vehicles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>So far, Faizal added, the train accident case at Bekasi Timur Station\nis divided into two crime scenes (TKP): the first TKP is the accident\nbetween the KRL and the \u201cgreen taxi,\u201d and the second TKP is the accident\nbetween the KRL and the Argo Bromo Anggrek train.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first one is still being handled by colleagues from the Metro\nPolice Traffic Directorate because it involves a traffic accident\nelement. Then the second TKP is now being processed by colleagues from\nthe Criminal Investigation Unit to see if there is any negligence or the\nlike,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
