        "summary": "Low road safety awareness in Indonesia often stems from family environments, where parents inadvertently teach children risky behaviours by normalising everyday violations such as not wearing helmets or seatbelts, and even riding against traffic with children aboard. Jusri Pulubuhu, founder of Jakarta Defensive Driving Consulting, emphasises that fathers, as family heads, must prioritise safety education as a lifestyle, contrasting compliant behaviour abroad with lax enforcement at home that perpetuates a culture of rule-breaking across generations. Consistent law enforcement and positive parental examples are crucial to breaking this cycle and fostering safer roads.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - Low road safety awareness in Indonesia apparently roots\nfrom the closest environment, namely the family. Founder of Jakarta\nDefensive Driving Consulting (JDDC), Jusri Pulubuhu, states that many\nreckless behaviours on the roads are inadvertently \u201ctaught\u201d by parents\nto their children. According to Jusri, the environment plays a\nsignificant role in shaping drivers\u2019 mindsets. He gives an example of\nhow a child can grow up considering violations as normal because they\nsee their father doing the same. Normalisation of Daily Violations This\nbad behaviour does not only occur at railway crossings but also\nencompasses various other daily violations. For instance, not\nhabituating children to wear helmets when riding pillion, or not using\nseatbelts. Worse, many people ride against traffic while carrying their\nchildren. Unconsciously, the child then normalises traffic violations.\nJusri states that the responsibility for safety lies in the hands of\nevery individual, especially the head of the family. A father has the\nobligation to provide measured safety education for his child and wife.\n\u201cSafety should be his need, a lifestyle like that. This is what\u2019s\nmissing,\u201d said Jusri. He also compares how Indonesian citizens can be\nvery disciplined when abroad, such as in Singapore, due to strict law\nenforcement without exceptions. However, upon returning to the homeland,\nzigzag and rule-breaking behaviours re-emerge because law enforcement is\nstill reactive. As long as parents continue to set bad examples and law\nenforcement is not consistent, Jusri believes the culture of breaking\nrules will continue to be passed on to the next generation.<\/p>",
