Khmer's don't follow the official road rules and laws, I think we can all agree on that. The more important question is how we should react to that.
The problem with foreign drivers is that they tend to go against the grain. For some everything is black and white, right and wrong and they think it's their job to educate the locals and this is often dangerous in itself. Things like blasting through a green light, with the attitude that it's their right of way if anyone gets hit then it's their fault and they deserve it or screaming up to a t-junction and breaking hard before the turning with the opinion that if anyone's cutting the corner, that's their problem.
This particular brand of expat thinking extends to many other areas of life, not just the roads.

If I injure or kill a khmer because they drive stupidly I feel no remorse, they would feel none for me in return.
Actually, they may check your pocket and take your watch as well.

+2 (which is not to cast judgement on this particular barang).
I came, I argued, I'm out
Bollocks spigzy.Most barangs on the roads here make allowances for khmer stupidity, otherwise we would all be dead by now.
Khmers just dont give a shit about each other, whether on the road or anywhere else.They could learn a lot from our sense of community, but they never will.They are fucking retards, who else would drive at night without lights thinking that it would save money on gas?
Only a fucking retard.
Having said that we used to be fucking stupid as well, only a generation of enforced learning and reinforcement through education and legal sanctions has caused westerners to think about driving more safely.But does the cambodian government care about the people and want to spend any money on driver education- of course not.

+2 to ken svay.
The people who will have to survive change are the khmers, not barangs, as the driving environment here has, and will continue to, change, as things develop, and the khmers will eventually have to learn to drive properly. Unfortunately the only thing they'll respond to is a ton of steel bearing down on them, or ridicule.

He is a sad old shit. He isn't permabanned, and never was. He was given a holiday for posting that the Kiwi journalist who died in Phnom Penh late last year 'was a cunt who deserved to die because he worked for a Murdoch publication.'epidemiks wrote:Aliceand we'll, harassing Australians on Twitter.
