Chhoun Voun, director-general of the Ministry’s General Department of Land Transport, told Khmer Times that the increase of registered vehicles is from the economic growth, rising income of the people, and full peace in the country.

He said that it has increased by more than 300,000 to 400,000 vehicles year on year. Of which, motorbikes share 40 percent.

 

“For the unregistered and illegal vehicles, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport cooperate with the Ministry of Interior and Police to not run those cars on the road without a number plate, we have achieved it, however, for new cars they have compliance with the law,” Voun added.
