Johor Baru? Malaysia is not Indonesia. If I am not wrong, in Malaysia most people have got an insurance. If you rent a car officially, the car has an insurance. As far as I know, in Batam most locals DO NOT have an insurance.
At least, if one drives in Batam, should have an insurance from home country covering ALSO damage to third party if driving. Imagine you kill someone in an accident, or you make someone severely injured, and police detaines you until you don't pay enough to the family to refund the damage. This may happen also if it is not your fault 100%.
Said all this, I know I talk like I can lecture everyone, but I admit I am not Mr. Perfect. Me too I drove motorbike at times, from Pacific to Formosa, with a drunk girl sit at the back (the owner of the bike). Just a short ride.
