Chinese Driver Stopped with RCAF Plate Car

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News (Banteay Meanchey): On May 18, 2019, an unidentified Chinese man was detained because he was driving a rented car bearing a Royal Cambodian Armed Forces plate, number RCAF 2-9139, in Poipet city, Banteay Meanchey.

In principal, only RCAF members and government officials have the right to drive vehicles with these plates which give the occupants special privileges. Recently, there have been some scandals about Cambodian officials renting out these cars to Chinese drivers.

In this case, the Chinese man told the police that he didn't know that it was forbidden to rent a car with RCAF plates. So, the Poipet police told him that only Cambodian officials and officers have the right to drive the vehicles, and they have no right to rent them to foreigners.
It is not mentioned whether the Cambodian official who rented out the car to the Chinese man has been arrested or questioned.
