New driving license procedure for foreigners

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.

I came a cross a media article stating that Cambodia has now joined the Geneva Convention on Traffic Laws. I can't find it again now or another reference. If true, it means that possession of a valid foreign licence and carrying an international licence (which are not really licences, just a translation), allows a visitor to be recognized as licensed for up to 3 months visit. Anyone else seen that?

True.

The main paradigm shift for me was when riding my moto I was mostly fearful for my own safety. Getting smashed by the idiotic, errant freshy on his Dream or ground to a pulp under a ten-wheeled, deuce-and-a-half driven by some nose-picking, methed up, spittle-dribbling teenager.

Now, whilst car driving I'm mostly fearful of injuring others that are being idiotic and errant around me. I don't think I've hit 40 kph yet on the city roads.

Meh
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

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.

Heard the price has more than doubled. Someone posted one agent wanted $150. I cant get any answers about now if you renew, (not a new licence app) you need a certificate of residence. Never had one in 10 years, never needed to.
