Like in most accidents, both drivers are partly to blame. They should just make the white guy pay half the damage to the bike and half the medical bills.

About 40 seconds into the video you see the freshy boy dart off down the street. What did he do, go get a police officer?

Probably to hide what ever he had in his pockets, maybe this is his thing driving around looking for cars to fall off his bike in front of, i wouldn't be surprised there is so many dishonest people about these daysGeneral Mackevili wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2017 8:15 pm About 40 seconds into the video you see the freshy boy dart off down the street.

Great - happy for you that your experience was different and is the exception that proves the rule.rozzieoz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2017 6:52 pmAbsolutely untrue in our case.StroppyChops wrote:It's a shame there isn't an earlier 10 seconds on that video - to me it looks like the moto driver looked, saw the SUV, did it anyway.
But, without a shadow of doubt, it's ALWAYS the barang's fault. Just ask the first copper on site. An elephant call fall from an airplane and land on a moto - the first barang to arrive on the scene on/in a vehicle is to blame, according to Khmer society.
A moto ran a red light and hit us.
Khmer friends conducted the negotiations on our behalf and our repairs were covered 100%.

Good to hear from the driver, he doesnt mention insurance cover. If he doesnt have any get some before next time and drive more defensively.

Cambodia is the worst ( in the cities), If u leave a gap ( 10 ft/10 miles/hour) it will be taken up with motos, tuk tuks, cars so u cant keep a safe distance ever. Not to mention the number of cars/motos turning from the wrong lane
Driving in the countryside, u just keep ur eyes open and moving but traffic is far lighter

This is a very good point - most regular posters know my big Chinese tuktuk, if I leave any sort of gap in front, there is enough space on either side of the front wheel for at least two motos to jump in, often causing a jam for which I am then to blame. I've come to really enjoy the "sifting sands" challenge of driving in Phnom Penh, it's like playing a video game (and I often have to remind myself it's not one) and watching the creative ways people can foul things up never gets old.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2017 2:16 pmCambodia is the worst ( in the cities), If u leave a gap ( 10 ft/10 miles/hour) it will be taken up with motos, tuk tuks, cars so u cant keep a safe distance ever.
