Phnom Penh: On 15 May 2018 from 7 am to 10 pm, Mr. Kol Yee, head of the traffic police office in Khan Daun Penh, and his team detained many people for driving on the wrong side of the road and for not wearing helmets, at Independence monument and Soramret road in Sangkat Chatomok, Khan Daun Pen, Phnom Penh.


The police confiscated 11 vehicles in all : 9 motorbikes, 1 tuk tuk and 1 car. There was a mix of locals and foreigners being detained. They were taken to Phnom Penh Traffice Police Office for reeducation, so that they clearly know the mistakes they have made, and agree not to make them again.

When I cross Monivong blv everyday, I am facing to some local on motorbikes, riskshaws and bikes who drive on the wrong side and do not care I am ready to cross the street. Even some stop front of me asking me "tuk tuk" ?
"I try to cross man, move please"

I suggest the Phnom Penh police "crack down" on the drunk young chineses who, when they just get outside the casino with their big luxurious pickup trucks, **speed-up** when they see the barang who try to quickly cross the street. It's funny to scared people or even, take a risk regarding their lives.
It is the real life, not a video game. You do not get 'points' if you smash me.

Why are you crossing the road near the casino so frequently?

Just curious.

Why dont you move house so you dont have to cross a road.

Because I am a road crossing lover. It's like a drug for me.

Have you been out along HE Bvd recently? There are road crossings all along that thing, even though there's nothing but sand on either side of the road where the crossings are painted.

I am afraid of overdose.
