Right Hand Drive Cars
Right Hand Drive Cars
I saw a Nissan Micra on Norodom Boulevard today, on the pavement between the trees and the wall of the building. The wanker had tried to go on the pavement to turn right but had been blocked by a parked moto. Poetic Justice...
But I noticed it was a right hand drive. I thought these were illegal here.
Anyone know the rules on right hand drive here?

They are not allowed to import them anymore but old ones already imported are still on the road. Many of the trucks are right hand drive for some reason i never figured out

Re: Right Hand Drive Cars
They were allowed and banned and re-allowed and re-banned etc for a long time. They have a red plate with yellow text, and the vast majority are commercial vehicles like dumper trucks. The only cars I see with wrong hand drive are miniature things.

Re: Right Hand Drive Cars
cause many of the trucks come from Thailand, tax free
Like I said on the other thread, Cambodia should have have changed to driving on the left decades ago and cars /trucks could than be brought over from thailand rather than the states and cost much less.

Re: Right Hand Drive Cars
the cost of new cars is rediculous in Thailand, even used are two or three times the price of one in the US. Sorry PR, Thais are out of step driving on the wrong side, they are the ones that need to change.

US $2,500-6,000
Thailand $6-9,000
Cambodia $10,500-12,000

The majority of the cars shipped to Cambodia from the United States are done using containerized shipping. (This is common for international shipping, but roll-on, roll-off transport is an option in many countries.
The costs generally fall between $1,600 and $3,400, plus any applicable taxes and duties.

whoever is sticking up the car buyers ass will do it regardless of where the cars come from. The increased cost is not in the shipping.

From ur link, thanks
Shipping costs; la- sihanoukville ( $2,450)
Plus the tax

so going on the above, just driving a car from thailand would save you $2,450Taxes on Cambodian vehicle imports are really high, which is compounded by the way in which the value of the auto is calculated. Rather than the cost of the vehicle or its current worth, the value is based on a chart that uses engine displacement and the year of the auto to determine the import tax. As many Americans have found out, the resulting taxes don’t always make sense, often totaling more than the value of the car.
