as gavin mac said all the coppers will be doing now is taking bribes instead of writing you out a ticket (which is kind of what they was doing anyway! but now the bribes will be bigger because the fines are bigger)

JL : We don't even know what the law is going to be yet; and apparently the cops and the authorities don't know either. They don't have anything in place for the public to pay official fines directly to police administration.The situation is ever so slightly confused. Haha TIC

You must have a helmet, but the quality is probably shit and totally useless in case of an accident. Things get announced, then they get changed, then they get changed again - and then who knows ? Usually the easiest system wins out. If it gets too crazy, just ask for a receipt. - and don't forget to

... Mr. Sar Kheng also told the audience that the Interior Ministry would forbid traffic police from collecting fines directly on the street when the new traffic law is implemented next month.

Instead, the minister said, traffic officers at roadside checkpoints would only be allowed to issue tickets, which offending drivers would need to pay at a different location.

“I have banned traffic police from taking money directly at the place,” Mr. Kheng said. “They can just issue a ticket to the vehicle owner…and point them to pay at a nearby police post.”...

So, no change then. That's exactly what they were supposed to have been doing as far back as I can remember. But how will they enforce it? Surely the police will just try and take a larger amount of cash than they do now, rather than doing all the paperwork.

Excellent. Can't wait to see how this works out.

They were talking about employing a lot more traffic police. If that comes off it won't be good. I know where they hang out now, that may change and make it harder to find new consistent routes.
I expect it could be another 2 week purge and then die down. The higher fine and greater chance of it will probably remain though.

Enforcement and prosecution of corruption is the key to a safer road. The key to Cambodia...
