Mr. Long said the traffic law would soon be updated to allow drunk drivers to pay a fine of 400,000 riel, or about $100, and be spared a court appearance.
“In the traffic law, Article 77 states that people who drive when drunk will face a fine and be sent to the court, but now there will be an amendment so that first-time offenders will only be fined,” he said.
“The reason we changed it is because we wanted to give an opportunity to offenders. If we detain them and send them to jail, it’s too fast,” he said.
However, if individuals fined for drunken driving reoffend within six months, they would be sent to court to face fines of up to 4 million riel, or about $1,000, Mr. Long said.

So you drive up to police check-point hammered and they will let you go? So every time you get nailed, it is a first-time offense? Outstanding, at least the police will not be embarrassed by arresting someone with senate/RCAF/police general dude.
