JAKARTA - Korlantas Polri requires the inclusion of driving certificates for applicants for the manufacture of driving licenses (SIM). The reason is that the process of making driving licenses in Indonesia is so easy when compared to other countries.
"In Indonesia alone, this is a bit easy, the 10th place in the world is among the easiest to make a driver's license," said the Reident Director of the National Police Traffic Corps, Brigadier General Yusri Yunus, to reporters, Monday, June 19.
In the process of making SIMs in Indonesia, the applicants are required to pay administrative money as one of the conditions.
Meanwhile, in other countries, applicants must first undergo education before undergoing a test to get a driver's license.
Meanwhile, the cost of making SIMs is IDR 50,000 for the SIM D and D I categories. Then IDR 100,000 for C, C I, C II. Then for SIM A, B I, and B II, IDR 120 thousand and International SIMs reached IDR 250 thousand.
"In Indonesia, Rp. 100,000 can get a driver's license, even though it is important to know the impact of accidents on the road, Indonesia has a high mortality rate," Yusri explained.

In addition, the requirements for including a driving certificate, continued Yusri, have been stated in the National Police Regulation Number 2 of 2023 concerning Amendments to Perpol Number 5 of 2021 concerning the Issuance and Marking of a Driving Permit (SIM) which was promulgated on February 17, 2023.
The regulation was emphasized not to complicate the process of making a driver's license. Instead, increasing public awareness of driving.
For example, there are still many motorists in Indonesia who do not understand traffic ethics such as running a red light. In fact, this action is very dangerous and has the potential to cause accidents.
"Our shortcomings are the drivers of motorized vehicle drivers on the road until an accident occurs, this is a lack of ethics," said Yusri.
