This. I've mentioned it too a few times on earlier threads. I think it's never been made explicit that that rule includes foreigners.

For this reason, I personally wouldn't want to test the 'you don't need a licence for under 125cc in Cambodia' when claiming on medical insurance. Hence, I would recommend getting the 'big bike' local licence regardless just to be sure.

Even with a Cambodian license if your traveling on travel insurance , you may find you need a valid bike license from your home country also
That's the case with my Australian Nomads insurance policy. So in my case I'm uninsured because I don't have a license in Australia or NZ, then again due to covid all insurance is invalid anyway
Great thread still think a push bike if only for around town is best

My Aussie moto licence recently expired and I need to rock up in Sydney for an eye test to renew it. Kind difficult just now!

When in Rome..

It isn't nearly as chaotic as it looks.
Lots of good points made earlier.

I recently sold my trusty scooter of over 4 years to Mrs Cargo's sister. After spending more time at the mechanics than in operation, her previous mini scoopy has gone to the moto graveyard and she's been without a moto. Ulterior motive here... the sister had convinced Mrs Cargo to go guarantor on expensive shop finance to buy a new moto. Apart from the high interest, I could see many potential pitfalls so it was easier/better for her sister to buy mine outright (at family price)..it being low kms and very reliable.

Anyway, that's off topic but it's only been a few days without moto and I do sort of feel naked without it. Sure, Grab is cheap and easy and no messing about with cash with debit card link but I do miss it so far...Something about having that convenience/freedom, wind in your face haha, rides with GF on the back etc Even though it's not really a necessity in my case, I think I'll nevertheless get another, newer one.

Having neatly avoided the guarantor racket, did you make it very clear that your old bike was sold as seen - no warranty?

"I buy bike big money - bike sick - need money fix bike - you cheat me - you pay please"

There may be trouble ahead...

Haha it was sold with a rock solid Clutch warranty guaranteed 100% reliable you could bet your grandmother on it.

But seriously, I sold it to her very cheap and it only has 10k on the odo. She was going to buy a $2,200 new moto on the never, never and I thought what if it got stolen or something? I miss my moto but something I can do to help both of them.

Don't think so I didn't do eye test in May when I was there, just do it online it will say you need glasses if previously did, problem is they will post license to the address on your license

This is from NSW RMS:

For car (class C) and rider (class R) licences, you need to pass an eyesight test every 10 years until you’re 45 years old, then every five years.

If you are going to start driving in pp, I suggest that you rent similar moped what are looking for buy. Like 3 days.

Then drive around. In all kinds of traffic. Also at night, if you are going to be.

If you had 2 or more "damn that was close" etc. situations, don't buy it, don't drive it.

That is, if some Chinese mofo haven't crashed to you yet.

Good point going from my bike to my girls scoopy having feet in front not spread out you don't seem to have the same balance, but I do prefer autos, stuck in traffic hand on the clutch all the time is a pain.
Doc67 idea of getting a push bike is probably the best idea of all if it's just for getting around the city.

Honda Waves/Dreams are Semi Automatic, they have gears but the clutch is automatic, there is no clutch lever just a front break on the handlebars

i Personally prefer riding honda dreams, every streetside mechanic knows their way around a Dream like the back of their hand and the parts are super cheap to replace, for example you can get a new wing mirror for only 3000r, they are a smooth ride
