“The customer must watch the spots and sign the agreement—‘I watched the spots’—before taking the motorbike out of the shop,” he said on Tuesday in Phnom Penh.

Through television and tuk-tuk ads as well as high school theater performances, the ministry hopes to bring about a drop from the 13,669 road fatalities recorded last year.

I can't imagine a dealer not taking someone's money because they didn't pass the test.
They should have them pass the test or they don't get plates for their newly purchased moto.

Re: Motorbike buyers to pass safety quiz.
Not only that but they will use the same 10 questions every time over the duration of the campaign. Within a few days, the answers will be available on Facebook.

Re: Motorbike buyers to pass safety quiz.
Be good to see the questions in the safety quiz, but they will be in Khmer of course. Will foreigners have to pass it ?

Anything road safety awareness here is good and positive!
