Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Sihanoukville: On May 03, Sihanoukville traffic police did spot-checks to clamp down on people driving without a driving license. There were roadside check-points set up by police in two different parts of town: 1st target is near Sokha hotel, Sangkat 4, Sihanoukville and the 2nd target is in sangkat 2, Sihanoukville.
It doesn't say whether the police were only stopping Chinese nationals, but it is reported that there were 14 cars detained, all belonging to Chinese drivers who have no driving license:

1- TACOMA Car, Plate no. PP2Z-3903
2- Lexus RX300, Pate no. PP2AM-2127
3- Lexus RX300, has no Plate
4- Lexus RX300, Plate no. SR2-2874
5- Lexus RX300, Plate no. SKV2A-8103
6- Highlander, Plate no.PP2AS-9757
7- Previa, Plate no. PP2J-8168
8- Camry, Plate no. PP2AF-3887
9- Lexus R300, plate no. PP2AS-1278
10. Highlander, Plate no. PP2AG-2382

Just out of curiosity, how many locals comply with local laws?

Cannot seize the trucks, because "it might cause serious unrest" according to the Transport Ministry.
Hundreds of truck owners fined
11 January 2018
More than 300 overloaded trucks were fined nearly $135,000 last month, causing the Transport Ministry to call for stricter action to protect the country’s roads.

A Transport Ministry report said a committee comprised of ministry officials and law enforcement officers seized 307 overloaded trucks, resulting in fines totalling $134,825.
It added that 352 trucks had been fined in November, 45 more than December, and the overloaded trucks weighed from five to 25 tonnes

Ministry spokesman Var Sim Sorya said the only action currently being taken was fining non-compliant vehicles.
“The fining is already a hot issue. If we seized and kept their trucks for a period of time, it might cause serious unrest,” he added.

That was about overloaded trucks. What about Khmer drivers without licences?

Far too many young Khmer dudes driving big semi trailers, sand trucks or just drinking water delivery trucks without any driver training or driving licences.
