Can anyone help me make sense of this?
Fines from a wee bit drunk on a motorbike 250,000 Riel to pretty drunk 1,000,000 Riel
Fines from a wee bit drunk on a car 800,000 Riel to pretty drunk 2,000,000 Riel
I think those numbers are right - my comprehension of Khmer numerals is pretty crap.
But a weee bit drunk (0.25 to 0.39) and pretty drunk (0.40 plus) what do those numbers represent? I looked up some drink driving articles and charts and those figs don’t align with anything I can see.
How many drinks can one sink before they hit the magic 0.25?
Not that I condone drink driving - far from it. But I’d like to be better informed when talking about this to my Khmer mates,

They now want to introduce allow which will enable them to freeze assets of hit and run drivers. Obviously it will be applied to everybody, there will be no special cases.
I wonder if it will be enforced like the no helmet rule. When you get caught, pay the fine and carry on your way.
Also, I recently read that points can be added to one’s license for driving offenses. Is that true?

Nothing like this can ever be enforced with vehicles registered anywhere but the home address.

I imagine it will work like that. But the negotiation starts from a bigger number now.StrategicRoadDivider wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 12:57 pmI wonder if it will be enforced like the no helmet rule. When you get caught, pay the fine and carry on your way.

Points on license has been in place for several years now - but I don’t know anyone who has had them applied.
