Saw this in on ABC news; Google translate seems to have it as a foreigner driving a Mini Cooper 'injuring' a father & toddler (looks like killed father + badly injured toddler). It also implies the foreign driver 'ran away' as if they had suddenly become a Khmer bus driver ... can't be right, one for Boomer?
Warning: Fairly graphic pics & very saddening that said parent apparently didn't think a helmet was necessary for their child - as a parent of a 2+yr old makes my blood boil.

I'm confused... They look White, but the Fresh News article give Khmer names.LTO wrote:So the victim is barang, or not?
I don't know about the victims, but the three flags easily identifiable on the Mini Cooper suggests that he has a strong affinity with the country, so is perhaps a Khmer returnee from down under.
If the adult victim sells cars, I can't see him being an expat.

Rated R for Ricecakes
They should not allow kids on motorbikes until at least 18 years old. My child is only permitted to travel in car with car seat.
Looks like these are lucky to be alive.

Clearer information from Kampuchea Thmey: http://kampucheathmey.com/kpt/?p=243957
The injured are Khmer, the driver of the car is Khmer and an employee of the car owner. He was tasked to bring the owner's children to school. The driver was driving very fast and lost control of the car, colliding with the father and his 1-year old baby. Obviously... Father was steering with one hand and holding his baby with the other on his lap.

Putting aside the idiot Mini Cooper driver for a moment, what does through the minds of these idiots carrying unprotected babies on their bikes?
Is it genuine lack of education or, as i suspect, merely the fact that they don't care very much?
I can't believe it's the former. You don't need to be educated or told that carrying a baby at 40km on busy roads is idiotic do you? Which leaves the uncomfortable latter as a possible reason. It's frightening.

The child seemingly doesnt have teeth yet,so i would say very young. Making jokes is a bit rough. A baby is lying on the road badly injured while his Father is dead. Have some compassion.
I find your statement that 'they don't care very much' idiotic and quite frankly insulting.alanclarke72 wrote:Putting aside the idiot Mini Cooper driver for a moment, what does through the minds of these idiots carrying unprotected babies on their bikes?

Of course they care about their children, maybe the fact that they cannot afford to buy a car, seeing as this is a 3rd world country, is more relevant. Why don't you put your hand in your pocket and buy every poor family in the country a Lexus so they don't have to use motos if it bothers you so much?

@alanclarke- they carry kids on motorbikes because that what they own for transporting everything. I doubt his Volvo was in the shop.
