Sub-Decree Relaxes Penalties Under Traffic Law
March 23, 2017

Motorists caught driving drunk will only be sent to court if they repeat their offense within a six-month period, according to a new sub-decree signed by Prime Minister HE on Tuesday.

Penalties for driving without a license or without a number plate were also reduced to just a fine, removing the possibility for one- to six-month prison terms.

The fines will remain at 800,000 to 4 million riel, or about $200 to $1,000.

Run Rathveasna, director of the National Police’s public order and traffic police department, said any drunk drivers causing injury to others would still be sent to court, though he did not explain why penalties were reduced.

Amendments to the Traffic Law passed late last year included provisions to increase the driving age from 16 to 18.

The amendments followed the rollout of the new Traffic Law at the beginning of last year that stipulated, among a range of new rules, that police officers must not collect fines on the spot and instead issue tickets to be paid later.

I don't think drunk drivers that endanger lives of others are cunts.

They are absolutely massive cunts and this law is going completely the wrong way.

Maybe they should slow down or stop.

I think it's a moot point, as they seemed to stop breathalyzing a month or two after last year's crackdown.

I probably drive more miles than most, in many parts of Cambodia, using moto and car at all hours of the day, but haven't sen any police checkpoints where they were using the Breathalyzer.

Anyhow, I drive better drunk than you do sober.

You should be scared , very scared of getting caught disobeying the road rules.

Ridiculous fucking rule! Not that it will make much of a difference anyway, the cops are hardly ever conducting check points and breathalyzing drivers, and even when they catch someone over the limit they'll accept an on the spot payment.
