No improvement with SNV traffic police ?
Re: No improvement with SNV traffic police ?
Mate you've been gone too long, that's practically a nightly occurence, just a matter of being there at the right time,...or the wrong time if you're flush on the pavement with a cracked skull. Off the top of my head I can remember seeing 6 dead people on that small stretch over the last few years, three of them foreigners.Jamie_Lambo wrote:bad smash up outside kampong som casino near the lions tonight, must have been some dead bodies (couldnt see) there was a huge crowd of rubberneckers, the floor was covered in glass

Maybe they read the news?
"Prime Minister HE continued his personal alterations to the recently implemented Land Traffic Law on Wednesday, announcing that drivers of standard motorbikes and scooters would no longer be required to have licenses."
"After discussions with Interior Minister Sar Kheng, Finance Minister Aun Porn Moniroth and Transport Minister Tram Iv Tek, Mr. HE decided to “completely stop requiring the license for driving the motorbike from 125cc down, from now onward,” it said.
“So people who drive motorbikes with 125cc or less don’t need to pay for the license and don’t need to have it at all.”"

Firstly it is not law until it is passed by the Cambodian Parliament. Until then the current traffic law is in place.
Secondly, are you 100% sure that this directive applies to Foreigners? From memory it was reported that HE said that Khmers know how to drive motos and should not need licences, he did not say all people in the world are thus so gifted.
And thirdly, as Jamie said, this new edict only came into force 2 weeks ago and trust me f all of them read the Cambodian news.

I went past early on, it was right outside Kampong Som City Casino, a car collected a moto as the car was turning into the casino from the looks of it. When I was there, there was only one police officer and lots of people. It looked bad. Today there is but a few shards of plastic and glass and a large pool of blood coloured water in a depression in the road.Jamie_Lambo wrote:haha true, ive seen a fair few as well, this one did seem a lot worse than normal, there was an army of police about lolRaybull wrote:Mate you've been gone too long, that's practically a nightly occurence, just a matter of being there at the right time,...or the wrong time if you're flush on the pavement with a cracked skull.

Re: No improvement with SNV traffic police ?
yeah thats the one, there was one or two of those police wagons and police guiding traffic and starting to set up road blocks by the time i went past, i did stop to see if i could see anything but couldnt make much out other than an educated guess, i did notice the large amount of glass on the road, so thought it might have been a collision between 2 cars or something, i saw a couple of officers kicking parts of a car/motobike with their feetLaudJohn wrote:I went past early on, it was right outside Kampong Som City Casino, a car collected a moto as the car was turning into the casino from the looks of it.

That kicking thing is just the cops re-enacting the accident, new SOP. That's what happenned to Mr Clean I think it was, same spot. That block is the worst in all of Shv, either turning towards Sunday or cars coming out of KS Casino. Saw a foreigner with his gf on a chopper hit a Lexus turning into the Sunday Gh road, the barang died within a few minutes while his gf clipped the top of the SUV and flew right over about twenty feet past. I think she lived. As for offenders, I reckon the ViP hotel vans and private vans that speed around their guests are now far worst than the Bong Thom In SUVs. Saw one of these speeding vans w/drunk driver clip a young girl then drove about 100m with the bike underneath the front bumper until rolled off to the side. We stopped to check on the girl but really should have followed that cunt, although he was doing nearly 100km/h downtown.Jamie_Lambo wrote:yeah thats the one, there was one or two of those police wagons and police guiding traffic and starting to set up road blocks by the time i went past, i did stop to see if i could see anything but couldnt make much out other than an educated guess, i did notice the large amount of glass on the road, so thought it might have been a collision between 2 cars or something, i saw a couple of officers kicking parts of a car/motobike with their feetLaudJohn wrote:I went past early on, it was right outside Kampong Som City Casino, a car collected a moto as the car was turning into the casino from the looks of it.

Re: No improvement with SNV traffic police ?
Almost comforting in a way. If there are two great consistencies in Cambodian law it is that driving with headlights on during the day is strictly illegal (even though it probably isn't), and that new laws and directives have a shelf life of 3-6 months.
