No license? No problem says Interior Ministry.

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Can you find the official statement in Khmer about not needing to produce your license ? I'd like to print it out to wave at the cops when I get back to Sville. I'm looking forward to breaking the news to the Sville traffic brigade. It's their favorite stunt for stopping barangs.

That would be a great Xmas present for me (and others I'm sure.) Cheers. :beer3:
I believe this is what you're looking for:

But remember, the Prime Minister says you still need to learn the traffic laws and respect everyone. Image

I've seen some posts on FB, maybe scaremongers, car driving moto haters or could be some truth. There is rumor that you have to carry round the motorbike's ID or a certified copy. And also rumor that I can't believe that the moto has to be in your name. That would be hard for me as the bloke I bought it from who was a friend and card still in his name since died! I have seen nothing in the traffic rules about this but probably down to discretion decided by the boys in blue if the tea money is lagging. But rules seem to be changing every day at the moment in the Kingdom of Wonder!

If true, that would presumably mean you have to carry around a form of ID as well.

I just hope it's still a dollar or 2 if you fail to have what you need.

It's made the Phnom Penh Post, for clarify:

Licences waived for 125cc motos

Motorbike drivers whose rides are 125cc or less will no longer need a licence, Prime Minister HE announced yesterday evening, in a decision that will mean the majority of Cambodian drivers will be exempt from taking a driving test.

In what he called a January 7 “gift for the people”, the premier ordered government officials to amend the Traffic Law in response to public concern and after meetings with Interior Minister Sar Kheng, and the ministers of finance and transport.

In a Facebook post at 7pm, the HE said the government would “eliminate driving licence A1”.

“[This] means that motorbike drivers [whose bike] has a power of 125cc or less are not required to have a driver’s licence,” the premier wrote.

Ok, seems like more than just a Facebook rumour. Sounds like they really are requiring people to have the vehicle registered in their own name.

Here a link, with the Google Engrish:

The owner of the car purchased from the original owner requested that the government stop named Motor Vehicle

Phnom Penh: team owners who bought from the original owner worked grumbling about the new traffic law requires cutting the name of the original owner comes to their own, they asked the Cambodian government to stop cutting this name because there is very difficult to search for the original owner.

In the case are officers order expert suggested that the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Public Works and Transport has been met to find a solution which is easy to buy the car.

Hill Dara car owner mentioned that he bought the car from him and do not know the original owner as a man, and the law requires research perplexed to find and where.

He added that "it is difficult. We do not know how to find a buyer before it and to call them away, a waste of time. Sometimes you want to cut some car owners do not want to cut, and they ignore us is responsible. On the other hand, the state is taking a lot of money, but if we are able to facilitate with buyers alike. "

He said that according to information he received is a little heavy vehicles for $ 100, but $ 200 trucks.

But for the better for you to buy a new car.

He said, "I request the government not to cut dont cut is cut when the new rules this out further and tighten the old car, and if asked, except for once."

Seng Vuthy another car owner has raised no different from Hill Dara is really very difficult, not knowing where to find the original owner, because some of them have moved to other places, which is different to buy at that time.

If you buy a car from one easy-to name but 3 to 4 owners that do not know where to find it.

He said, "I want some new rules that ease because if required to do then I believe that is hard to do. If the owner dies can we go out."

He said that for him personally since the new law opened the police have not yet worked fine due respect comes with all kinds of files.

For this, Lieutenant Ron Roth fate head of the traffic police department and order, said that the new law requires car owners to work only 90 days, but authorities did not fine.

He said that "We are working with the Ministry of Public Works, they (the owners) be hard to see. We want to do them easy to Ministry of Public Works agreed to forgive if he believes at the local level that the car perfectly as his car was not the thing we're talking. But I did police series, and we facilitate the value of it, too. "

New traffic law has targeted that traffic police were arrested for traveling on the streets is that drivers are drunk Driving dummy plates wearing false number plates clean driving license clean titles of the vehicle and driving the wrong techniques, including reproach upon the police as well.

It sounds like more bollocks they haven't worked out yet or not thought about it at all until now! I've got several motos. One owner as I said before died, one is the old green type with old plate. The others I wouldn't have a clue how to find the old owners! No body much bothered to change into their name unless it was for traveling out of Cambodia where you need to show at the border.

^^ Maybe, the idea is to prove that you really are the owner and the bike isn't stolen.

yes but why do you need to find the old owner if you have the moto id?

I wish they would get back to fixing some of the old problems,,, like, can someone please organize a rubbish collection service , or even a party in a brewery to celebrate the overthrow of Pol Pot.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
