Him Yan, national deputy police chief, told 120 provincial police officials from 12 provinces of the development during a training course of traffic accident investigations.

Mr Yan said that a motorbike owner would pay $17 per year and owners of small cars $70, while owners of large vehicles would pay $80 per year.

“If the motor driver gets into an accident causing injuries, the company will pay out $580 and if there is a death involved, the company will pay $3,000,” Mr Yan said.

Comprehensive for a car was about $350, cheap compared to the alternative.

A few weeks ago a expat on his moto was hit by a Cambodian car. Leaving him on the road with a broken leg. The driver of the car drove away. You would presume the driver didn't have insurance. Or this is just the norm.

lol - The locals will avoid insurance like the plague. Hit and run is the game. The fuckers need educating first with driving skills.
