Be very careful when you put money in your licence..
The police can be very funny about open bribes.
Instead make sure you keep 20,000rp (this is usually enough for them)in a convenient place and tell them that you would like them to "have a cup of coffee on you" as this is a lot less obvious.

There have been many times we have been pulled over and just told to "be careful"

We have been pulled over many times and only pay if we have done something wrong, otherwise we just play dumb and thank them for looking after us.

Have fun and take it slowly. :)
