Could be the reason.
When I first visited Bali they had only one traffic light, which was in the centre of Denpasar,... when they later started to put more traffic lights in my driver would drive through a red light, I asked him did he understand what the red traffic light was and what action you should take.
His reply: "You only stop at a red light if you're going to his someone comming through a green light".
I also was told for some years the Bali snakes are not dangerous,... once when seeing a green one I took little notice and a balinese said you must be very careful,... I told him what I had been told,.. he said that's true they're not dangerous unless they bite you,.. then they may kill you!
