It is seemly too fast if the government starts fining innocent Cambodian people without driver’s license after the new traffic law was signed by King Norodom Sihamoni on February 8, 2007. And it will be implemented after being officially launched in order to reduce casualties, deaths, and disabilities due to traffic accident.
Based on new land traffic law, all drivers of vehicles over 49cc are required to have drivers’ license and each license has 12 points. Points will be deducted if the drivers violate the law such as driving without helmet, serious violation of drunk-driving and so on.
At the mean time, group of civil society, students and youths suggested the government: to promote widely new traffic law throughout the country, to train key officials at commune and sub-district and then they will help train local people to learn new law, and to give two years more to people to receive license.
According to City Hall, more officers will be deployed at the traffic lights in Phnom Penh to educate people who abuse the law without fining and extorting. There are more than 500,000 motorbikes registered with the ministry but only 2,000 drivers have obtained license.
Do you think that there will be corruption if the fast implementations of vehicle drivers have yet to carry license? Will there be extortion by traffic police?
