Driving license

I'm referring to your article on introducing new driving licenses in Jakarta and its outskirts (The Jakarta Post, Oct. 3, 1995).

It is ridiculous that the National Police is again busy issuing new licenses despite introducing the present fancy but expensive driving license just two-and-a-half years ago. Why the push to renew driving licenses after such a short period, while the big traffic problems are still unsolved?
