The Autosobriety Training of Trainers event opens the way for the relevant working group to organize similar training in Preah Sihanouk and Siem Reap Provinces within the upcoming weeks and target 1,230 direct beneficiaries from government institutions, civil society organizations, private sectors, schools/universities and communities.

Nice, about time !

Still have to prevent meth driving, weed driving, text driving, dumb driving, worn-out vehicle driving....

Oh no , that’s the main thing I like about this country ,
Drinking and driving almost feels legal
I drive drunk all the time and the cops don’t bother me at all
If I see a roadblock of police they don’t seem to mind if I pull over before I get there to put my helmet on

With PERNOD RICARD ?
It's like asking Perdue Pharma to fight the opioids epidemic...

The cost of this "help" is clearly small potatoes compared to the potential benefit coming out of this disguised publicity campaign, in this small country representing so very very little of their global market share...

Why not trust China to protect rhinos horns and shark fins while we're at it ?

This looks promising ???
