Nail Landmines in Jakarta - Ranjau Paku

There are two possible perpetrator in this, one is a robber the other is the guy who doing business fixing the flat tires usually a little street vendor.

There are many group of volunteering people who trying to fix this situation who cooperate with the police. Despite that, the nail land mines still an existing problems that Jakarta has today.

Tips when you have flat tires:

1. Try to get to gas station or a restaurant or any building to change your tires. Try not to stop in the side of the street. Usually in the building or parking lot there are security that can help you with that and it is safer.

2. If you have to stop on the side of the street to change tires, lock all of your door car so people can't just steal your belonging in the car. They only need a split second to steal your belongings when you change your tires.

3. Look at your surrounding if it's empty or not crowded it's best you still drive your car to the nearest building. Better be safe than sorry.

In closing, you have to be street wise and cautious to live in Jakarta. Beware and aware of your situation is the best thing.
