Motorcyclists: Watch out for those trucks.
This happens everyday in Cambodia, so just a reminder to all motor-bikers that trucks have priority on Cambodian roads, even when they don't. A lot of the truck drivers don't have a licence, or have any notions about road rules and road safety.
Saturday, May 20, 2017
Today at 11:20 in the village of Chong, a truck driving in direction of Siem reap from Phnom Penh hit a motorcycle, killing the driver instantly and leaving his wife, who was the passenger, in a critical condition in hospital. According to police, the truck was driving way too fast through the village near a market.
The truck driver tried to escape but the motorbike was caught under the truck.

Yes, heed that advice! How my encounter with these these crazy drivers in my daily commune on frequent basis, be a chicken and give them way. Not worth it.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2017 7:47 pm This happens everyday in Cambodia, so just a reminder to all motor-bikers that trucks have priority on Cambodian roads, even when they don't.

Re: Motorcyclists: Watch out for those trucks.
This is what happened to the bike. Don't think you need the video.
Accidents like this one are not exceptional, but this is nasty. Newbie moto-drivers in Cambodia should keep in mind that larger vehicles, particularly trucks, will probably not give way to you, even if you are in the right and the truck is on the wrong side of the road or does not have priority.
This is not meant to deter people from riding motorbikes, just a heads-up for people who are not used to driving here to be attentive.

Re: Motorcyclists: Watch out for those trucks.
As a motorbike driver in Cambodia one should always give way to bigger vehicles or risk getting crushed/killed/maimed. It's got nothing to do with what's right or fair.. It's about self preservation.

Re: Motorcyclists: Watch out for those trucks.
while i somewhat i agree doc, otherwise i would not live to troll today. these fuckers drive as though they own the road driving in the middle of late on smaller roads on daily basis. in this very incident, the fuck was speeding fast, hit and tried to make run fortunately the bike was stuck under the wheel and could not accelerate....he was gonna get a beat down to death, by the tuk tuks and motodops...fortunately the useless cops who happpened to station nearby the one way bridge intervened.
Re: Motorcyclists: Watch out for those trucks.
Agreed. No matter how many precautions one might take, if luck is not on your side, you could get rammed by human trash in large vehicles like in the article above..

Accident in Kandal Province last night (6 August 2017). The driver of the motorbike was reportedly drunk and not wearing a helmet. He was taken to hospital, but it is not known if he survived the accident.

Truck vs motorbike. The motorbike doesn't stand a chance.
8 August 2017. Around midnight.
Two young people, a man and a woman aged 17 and 18, were killed on the National Rd 1 in the village of Watta, commune Korki district, Kien Svay district, Kandal province, in a particularly nasty accident. They were traveling in the direction of Phnom Penh to Kean Svay on a Honda Dream motorbike when they hit or were hit by an oncoming Volvo truck (3C-7592). RIP
