JAKARTA - Dirlantas Polda NTT Kombes Djoni Widodo explained, the appeal not to use flip-flops when driving was to reduce the risk of accidents.
"So, the appeal is aimed at safety, protecting motorists, and reducing the risk of accidents," said Djoni in Mataram, Friday, June 17.
He advised motorists, especially users of two-wheeled vehicles, to wear shoes.
"If you wear shoes, it looks safer," he said, quoted from Antara.
Regarding the appeal that was officially issued by the Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the Police, Djoni ensured that it was not included in the provisions of Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation.
"So, there are no legal consequences because this is only an appeal. However, it would be better if this appeal was obeyed," he said.
Furthermore, Djoni explained that the NTB Regional Police and all levels of traffic in districts/cities will continue to socialize the appeal to motorists not to wear flip-flops.
He also hopes that the public will understand the appeal. This appeal is also part of the police's efforts to remind the public about the importance of maintaining safety when driving.
