There are a couple of points need clarifying here:
"One is that a foreigner CANNOT sign any binding/legal agreement in Indonesia"
This may be correct if you are here on a tourist visa (I don't know) however I have to sign a lot of papers when I do my residency and work permits, they are all legally binding and I am most definitely a foreigner.
If it's true re foreigners with tourist visa's then it also makes you wonder, what is the point of signing the Immigration card and Customs Declaration upon entry?
"Secondly, if you are targeted for a "fine" aka donation, it matters nil the state/class/issue of your licence: you pay regardless, just ask any local!"
Sounds like you haven't been here in a while.
