Watch your road manners!<\/p>\n
On Nov. 22, 2000, at around 9 p.m., a Toyota Kijang van
\n(license plate no. CD 107 09) drove recklessly from the left lane
\nto the right lane and vice versa on Jl. Prapanca. After passing a
\ncar abruptly, the other car, a Toyota Land Cruiser (also with a
\nCD license plate, CD 20 ...) honked angrily, and the Kijang van
\nstopped right in front of the car, causing the traffic to be
\nhalted. The passengers of the Land Cruiser overtook the Kijang
\nand the two cars got into a high speed chase.<\/p>\n
The two cars may have been racing each other for some time. I
\nonce spotted the same Kijang driving recklessly on Jl. Sudirman,
\nwhile the police only watched in awe.<\/p>\n
Just because they have diplomatic immunity, can drivers of
\ndiplomatic corps cars actually drive any way they want? The
\npolice can do little to stop this. They may be able to give
\nwarnings and reminders, but not much more than that. I hope
\nthat the embassies will take measures to discipline their staff
\nnot to take advantage of their diplomatic immunity and endanger
\nlives. Do they not have any shame? Are they not concerned about
\nsafety on the streets?<\/p>\n
