Drivers are choosing to fly the One Piece flag instead as a show of dissatisfaction with the current government.

Much of it stems from Indonesia’s new Zero ODOL policy, ODOL meaning over-dimension and overloaded trucks in a bid to improve road safety as well as address damage caused by said trucks.

    I dont think they are the bad guy. The government passed truck weight limits to improve road safety, but truck drivers get paid by load weight and they are already underpaid. There are grievances to be had but the truck drivers are mad at the wrong people.

      Truck drivers aren’t the ones trying yo ban the flag, and thus NOT the ones ByteOnBikes is talking about.

      Who is up voting this complete misreading of the above comment? 13 other people (at the time of my posting) also lack the basic literacy skills to interpret someone criticizing the government, not the truckers.
