Crackdown on Unlicensed Truck Drivers

[geovalin]

Truck drivers without licenses who take workers to factories will not be allowed to continue working starting next April in a bid to reduce traffic accidents, the government said on Monday. Public Works and Transport Minister Sun Chanthol, who is also the permanent vice-chairman of the National Road Safety Committee, told state news organization Agency Kampuchea Press (AKP) after the ministry’s monthly meeting that they would ban truck drivers without licenses from taking workers to and from the factories.
 

“From 2017 onwards, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, in cooperation with the Interior Ministry and the Transport Minister, will start to strictly monitor and enforce the road traffic laws,” Mr. Chanthol said. “We will stop all truck drivers transporting workers who do not have a driving license to avoid road accidents.”
 

He said traffic accidents often happened because drivers without a license did not understand or respect the traffic laws and also used old trucks which were prone to malfunctions. The ministry has given those without licenses until April 2017 to renew their expired licenses or sit for the driving tests to get a new one, after which they would be liable to a fine or jail time, as stipulated in the traffic laws.

Ok good start but why so specific? Starting in April for truck drivers that take workers to factories?

 

Why not just enforce the bloody law starting now, on every day, everywhere and for everyone?!! It's really not rocket science.

After starting to read the article I thought "This cannot be Thai news" and sure enough it was not.
