JAKARTA - A woman driving a motorbike at Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta has gone viral. He pointed his middle finger at the traffic police. Someone managed to record it and now it's been widely circulated.

Head of the Pasar Rebo Police Traffic Unit, AKP Gede Oka Sukamto, when confirmed, said the incident occurred at around 11.00 WIB. At that time he was managing traffic jams due to a container truck accident.

"At that time, from the direction of Kampung Rambutan, at a red light, this woman casually rode a motorcycle without a helmet. I was dealing with traffic jams at that time," said Gede Oka Sukamto.

Oka said, at that time he had reminded the motorcycle rider to wear a helmet. Instead of being obedient, the woman refused to wear a helmet citing the hot weather.

"I approached and reprimanded him and advised him to wear a helmet, but he seemed to be teasing me and making me angry," said Oka, as quoted by Antara, Monday, January 17.

Oka said that he was not provoked to scold the female motorcyclist because she was focusing on regulating traffic flow.

"I said that there was an accident on the road to Bogor near the Cijantung red light. I suggest wearing a helmet. The woman was forced to wear it while saying, I'll wear this in front of you, I'll take it off later," said Oka.

When the woman put on her helmet, Oka then returned to controlling the flow of traffic. When Oka turned around and without his knowledge, the woman then raised her middle finger.

"After he put on his helmet, I turned right to continue unraveling the traffic jam," said Oka.

However, the commendable action of the motorcyclist was successfully recorded by another motorcyclist and then went viral.

There has been no action from the Pasar Rebo Police regarding the motorcyclist's action. However, the police have known the identity of the owner of the motorized vehicle based on the police number.
