i never know where they are on about when they say which number village/district theyre from, is there like a grid map of all the different areas of sihanoukville? anyone got any map of it?

topic related, whenever i see these stories it always makes me cautious on the roads here in sihanoukville, at night the roads are pretty empty causing people to drive super fast and stupid

While I have no idea who was in the wrong in this accident, the way the people on motorbikes drive I'm surprise there isn't more of this. I don't see a helmet in the picture either. Most of them don't have licenses and have no idea about traffic laws, they just get on a bike and go any which way. Driving on sidewalks, driving the wrong way, not stopping at red lights, driving way too fast, no lights at night, 5 on a moto, way overloaded with products, no mirrors, etc. Until the police get off their dead butts and crack down on crazy moto drivers this will keep happening.

The police have light equipped motorcycles and cars, but I never see them doing traffic patrols in Snookyville, just the sunny day usual stop light stops. (mostly aimed at rich tourists.)

What most people fail to understand is that the police don't WANT people to have licences OR drive properly. They do random checks on bad drivers/licences, but just enough so as not to make people think it would be worthwhile to get a licence or drive like a sane human being.

If they cracked down hard on both consistently, soon every Khmer would have a licence and be driving safely, and bye-bye to extra income.

They encourage chaos deliberately because it feeds them.
