Somehow that just doesn't seem right.
Many drivers do it the wrong way, one foot on the brake, one foot on the gas pedal.....
Would that cause the car to overturn several times.

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…

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.
