That's hardly an SUV, not too many dollars available I think. Looks like it was quite an impact from the damage to the front of the car.

Any idea why he is in cuffs? Obviously did not flee as a Cambodian surely would have.
Oh yeah! Paragraph 3, line 4, subsection J reads.

If you had not been here this could not have happened.

Unless my maths is incorrect, either 3 on both moto's or 4 + 2 etc.
When are they going to learn moto's are designed to be safe and able to be controlled properly with only one passenger? :BangHead:

It's a 4runner I think. Those are unstable design, bad cornering, basically a truck in a suit.

"When are they going to learn moto's are designed to be safe and able to be controlled properly with only one passenger."

We are most of us used to driving in countries with well defined laws and generally safety conscious motorists. Here poverty forces people to ignore common sense traffic courtesy. Then of course there are the wealthy Cambodians who know that the laws do not apply to them since their money is a get out of jail pass.

Whatever the circumstances it is incumbent on the foreigner to suspect that local drivers will do the dangerously unexpected. Clearly, it is neither fun nor fair and frequently aggravating as hell.
