In an effort to enforce the road traffic law signed by the King in 2007, traffic policemen have been deployed across the country in order to fine motorbike drivers without wearing crash helmet and mirror installation.

There are more than 60,000 vehicles have been temporarily confiscated since 1st August. And motorcycle drivers have been required to buy helmet and to place rear mirror.

Hem Ya, deputy chief of the Phnom Penh Police Commissariat, was quoted by the Phnom Penh Post as saying that “I think that so far, 80 percent of Cambodian people respect the traffic law. the other 20 percent, mostly teenagers under the age of 25, don’t seem to respect the law and don’t want to wear helmets.”
