progresifjaya.id, JAKARTA – Four little boys (bocil) were reprimanded by members of the Polres Metro Jakarta Pusat Traffic Unit (Satlantas) for riding four-bond electric bicycles on Jalan Gunung Sahari Raya, Jakarta Pusat.
This incident was uploaded to the social media account X @TMCPoldaMetro. Seen in the video are four children riding together in a seating configuration; three in the seat (including the driver), and one sitting on the deck. They calmly roamed around on electric bicycles on the highway. None of the four of them were wearing helmets.
“Hey, stop. Hey, stop. Off. Everyone get in the car,” shouted the officer from inside the patrol car, trying to stop the electric motorbike.
