Public Divided Over Illegal Street Racing

THE public is split on whether to legalize street racing in Jakarta. Last week's Tempo poll indicates that many respondents support the Jakarta government's plan to provide a venue for racing wannabes. However, almost as many respondents oppose the idea, the difference in opinion being 19 respondents from a total of 696.

Opponents feel Jakarta has more to lose from illegal street racing. One concern is over the issue of safety, not only to the racers but also to bystanders, as the city's streets were never built for racing.
