This crazy idea came from my lecturer. I like his idea.
Have you ever made driving license in Jakarta? It is centralized at one place in Jakarta. When you come to that place, there are many driving license brokers offer you to make driving license without taking series of test. Usually, they offer you price around Rp 300,000 that is higher twice from its original price around Rp 100,000.
Why do people often taking shortcut rather than following legal procedure? First, many people do not pass the test. They prefer spend more money rather than waiting 2 weeks to follow 5 hours test again. Second, there are people who do not meet age requirements want to make driving license. It is impossible for them in legal procedure. Third, some officers compound people who are taking the test. I don't know whether it's true or not, but some writings on the internet say that they do plagiarism when doing test, two people with same answers but only one who passes the test. And there are many other reasons.
Is it possible to remove illegal brokers? for many years, we don't see alleviation of illegal brokers. As an alternative, we can make them reduce their price. To reduce the price of making driving license through back door, government must settle several places in Jakarta as places to make driving license. The theory is one place in Jakarta now is doing monopoly. If there are more several places, they will compete to gain customer by lowering their price and escalating their services quality. For example, place A offer price Rp 325,000 and place B offer price Rp 225,000, which place would you choose? of course place B so you can use remain Rp 100,000 to buy siomay or ketoprak. Then place A will lower price too when they know price that place B offered. Do you agree that people would get benefit from this?
