Bekasi fines over 13,000 motorists

BEKASI: Bekasi Police, working with officials from the transportation agency, ticketed 13,635 cars and motorcycles in May.

Traffic police head Comr. Gatot Subroto said over the weekend that most of the tickets were for failure to carry necessary papers, failure to wear a helmet and ignoring street signs.

"What really concerns us is that people continued to violate traffic rules even though they saw us out there writing tickets.

"We ask drivers to realize the importance of discipline on the road," he said.

Gatot said that from January to March, traffic officers ticketed a total of 4,752 vehicles for a variety of violations. -- Antara
