Traffic Law Crackdown Starts Tuesday 15 March (Tomorrow)

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.

It may not apply to the most obvious of tourists but I think any PP regular expat will be treated just the same.
and how do you think a policeman will know , or care, what the difference is when he pulls them over?

Are you finding you can't talk your way out of it? You've been here a long time and the locals must know you well.

yeah when i was in Kampot the other week there were road blocks everywhere, luckily they were easy to avoid, but even the couple i did go through i never got bothered/hassled just waved through/ignored, same goes to the ones in SHV

Of all the things to crack down on, I Would think speeding would be near the bottom of the list.

The crack-down is not doing so well here in Temple Town. The massive road block they had outside FCC the last few weeks has promptly been dismantled:-)

I was impressed how competent the cops are recently. Was driving home late last night, i recalled seeing at least couple check points in one single road. I guess this time they do it for real. No drink driving folks.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

FOB backpackers are pretty recognizable. I can't imagine they'll be pulling over many white couples with matching parachute pants and dreadlocks to confiscate 10,000r of the 20,000r in their tie-dye tote bag and deny them a 2nd banana pancake.

I was fined for many times. The worst thing I never bring any document with me. My mistakes were turning the light on, rode the wrong direction without seeing the sign. i hate when they hide themselves and shocked me when they came out. i had to brake immediately. Moreover, when they fined me, they were so rude to me. if they just spoke simple way to me, yes i could give them more than they fined for drinking coffee because i know police traffice isnt an easy job. however, I still don't want to bring any document with me.
