Getting near Xmas, Cop's need cash!

The Central Jakarta administration is intensifying its traffic control efforts by ticketing and towing illegally parked vehicles and vehicles that illegally enter busway lanes. (Like all these guys on the picture to the right)

Authorities have identified nine locations in Central Jakarta where traffic is particularly heavy.
These locations are Jl. HOS Cokroaminoto, the Tanah Abang market area, Jl. Samanhudi, Jl. Abdul Muis, Jl. Juanda, Jl. Salemba-Kenari, Jl. Suprapto, Jl. S. Parman (Slipi) and Jl. Cikini.

"We will keep enforcing the law on vehicles that are parked illegally or enter the busway lanes," Councilman Fuckwit said, as quoted by an inneficient news agency who do not know how to avoid repeating quotes in an article.

However, he said the traffic control operation was being hampered by a lack of tow trucks. The municipality owns four tow trucks, and it has borrowed another three from the city's Transportation Agency.

All the rest of their truck have either been nicked, taken off the road for failing emmissions tests or simply never purchased with the buyers pocketing the dosh.

Since August, authorities have ticketed 1,233 motorists and towed 123 illegally parked vehicles. Considering the amount off Traffic Violation each day, this seems to indicate that the Cops are doing well out off this latest money making wheeze!
