Posted on by Koon Khmer

http://www.freshnewsasia.com/index.php/en/15446-2016-01-06-11-59-41.html

Samdech Techo Hun Sen decided to cancel driving licences for motorcycles with an engine less than 125CC.

As a present for the celebration of Pram Pi Makara (January 7), Samdech Techo Hun Sen announced the decision to cancel driving licenses for motorcycles with an engine less than 125CC.

Hun Sen announced on Facebook that after listening to the comments and requests of the citizens, especially the youth and students, regarding the possession of a driving license for motorbikes, and after discussion the issue with the King, Deputy Prime Ministers, Minister of Interior and Minister of Finance and the Minister of Public Works and Transport he decided to completely stop the payment for a driving license for motorbikes with an engine less than 125CC immediately. So people driving motorbikes with an engine less than 125CC don’t have to pay for a driving license and don’t have to posses a driving license. (មិនចាំបាច់បង់លុយថ្លៃធ្វើប័ណ្ណបើកបរ និងមិនចាំបាច់មានប័ណ្ណបើកបរឡើយ)
Meanwhile citizens have to study the Traffic Law and have to respect each other while driving. Hun Sen will propose legislative amendments to the new law shortly. He hopes that this will reduce the costs and difficulties for the people in the country. This is a gift for the Pram Pi Makara anniversary.
