If so the moto had to be at very high speed but the young man is unscathed. He would have been splattered onto the windshield or under the car Why is taking an xmas gift to his girlfriend relevant? He is poor (Yes, half of Cambodians are poor)? Where is the photo of the motorbike (there is always one)? I have no reason but seems staged to me.

Anyway, if real, as JB said, how does a one get funds to repair a Rolls from a 20 year old?

I'm with you, and smell a rat here. The damage looks more akin to driving into something hard and immoveable at low speed.

$700,000 or whatever for a plastic car. What is the world coming to?

That would have taken a moto at very high speed with a severely injured or dead moto driver. I have no idea why but I think our rich boy is up to something. What was the original source of this "news"? Happy New Year.

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): At 3:14 pm on December 25, 2020, on the concrete road in Angkor Chey village, Snour commune, Phnom Penh, a young man was riding his Honda Dream 125 motorcycle to give a Christmas gift to his girlfriend, when he drove into an expensive Rolls Royce car, causing damage to the front of the car.


Fortunately, the young man was not injured and when he asked the owner of the car to pardon him, out of compassion, the Rolls driver said that he would not ask for money, but he instructed the young man to obey the law and not to ride a motorbike too fast to avoid such accidents in the future.


The above young man is named Mean Tangly, 20 years old, and he is from a poor family; his parents are construction workers, he lives in Tuol Pong village, Sangkat Choam Chao I, Khan Por Sen Chey, and as a child he used to live in a pagoda. The white Rolls Royce with license plate Phnom Penh 2AU-8888 belongs to Mr. Mean Sophorn, 31 years old. He is Deputy Director General and Executive Director of "Borey Leap Samnang" and resides in Angkor Chey Village, Sangkat Snor, Khan Kampoul, Phnom Penh.
