The locals won't abide by the law, they have zero understanding of road safety, the police don't enforce this law properly or at all only for the tea money. There is no road safety education in the schools, parents don't ensure their underage kids without license or insurance, riding bikes 3 or 4 up all without helmets are dressed properly safely, all the motorbikes and riders coming out of school driving past policement controlling the traffic never ever wear helmets despite the new increased fines. What else can be done in such a risky environment if no one listens?

Don't go. You'll be trapped. Give it a lot longer before you venture into your GFs family environment.
