Police checkpoints, minus the horror stories.
Checkpoints happen in Bali, especially since enforcement stepped up in 2025 — usually at known junctions, usually in the morning. If your paperwork is right, a stop is two minutes of mild boredom. The horror stories you've read almost all start with missing documents.
What you show: your motorcycle licence, your IDP, and the bike's STNK (registration). Every Overrun bike goes out with its STNK, and we've already checked your licence at handover — so by the time you're riding, you're carrying exactly what a checkpoint asks for.

How a stop actually goes
Pull over when waved down, helmet on, engine off, be polite. Hand over the three documents. If everything's in order you're waved through. If you're cited for something, ask for the official ticket (surat tilang) and pay through the official process — a receipt exists for real fines. If anything about a stop feels wrong or you're unsure what's being asked, message us; a local operator on the phone changes the temperature of most conversations.
This is practical guidance from operating here, not legal advice — laws and enforcement practice change, and serious situations need proper local counsel.
