Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen marked a speech at Build Bright University ceremony that all police and military police have to wear crash helmets and install rear-mirror on their motorbikes in order to set an example for all Cambodian peoples.

The road traffic law was signed by the King in 2007. A one part of law has been enforced by requiring all motorcycle drivers to put on helmets and install mirrors. If not, they will be faced with fine from traffic police.

Premier said that the traffic situation in Cambodia is horrible and called on Cambodians to respect the rule in order to reduce traffic accident.

Uk Kimlek, the deputy director general of the National Police, quoted by the Phnom Penh Post admitted Wednesday that many police on motorbikes do not wear helmets or have mirrors but said that police will improve after Hun Sen’s speech.
