Re: Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway Underway
Too much speed, then avoiding action, then hard braking. Probably the classic combination for this.
Add in a possibility of overloaded vehicle, bad maintenance, crap (especially Chinese) tyres as many are, here. Seems to me a fairly predictable outcome.

Nothing wrong with a bit of left foot braking, in right place…
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway Underway
Khmer driving rules of crossing the median to pass don’t work when driving at 100-140 (or more) kilometers per hour. There’s a whole new set of skills involved to avoid high speed collisions.
Even westerners don’t manage this so well. New cars have all sorts of collision avoidance systems to help.
There will be a steep learning curve in Cambodia.
Hope everything goes well.

What would help on the safety side is those Cambodian car dealers, to stop buying damaged repairable cars, and (cut and shuts) from America and some other countries, and then selling them has what they are not, 99% genuine.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 9:38 pm Khmer driving rules of crossing the median to pass don’t work when driving at 100-140 (or more) kilometers per hour.

The Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville expressway is not yet open to traffic, but the traffic accidents have started ahead of the official opening ...
Cambodia News, Kampong Speu Province: Two Alphard cars, one white and one black, collided on the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway at km 66-67, Kampong Speu province at 1:45 pm on July 11, 2022.
The accident on the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway was caused by a black Alphard car (License plate Phnom Penh 2BQ-7666) when the unidentified driver who was driving west to east, changed lanes from the left lane to the right lane. The vehicle then collided with a white Alphard car, with license plate Preah Sihanouk 2D-9666, forcing it off the road.
At least one of the car drivers is reported to be a foreign national, and four people were reportedly injured in the accident and taken to hospital.
