If you have time to visit Cambodia, then we will be a little surprised because they were primitive to pass-traffic discipline. They still consider safety for motorists is not important, so that almost all the cities in the country of Cambodia, the majority of the motorcycle rider was not wearing a motorcycle helmet even a common drive 5 to 8 people. However helmet use in Cambodia remains relatively very low, despite the fact that helmet-wearing is a proven injury prevention intervention.
Several key findings from safety books in moto cycle safety, identify barriers to helmet-wearing, including gaps in road safety knowledge and ways to communicate the road safety message more effectively. For example, there is a need to increase the availability of medium-quality, cheap cost helmets for children, while at the same time addressing the prevailing attitude that children are “too young” to need use a helmet. I also found that many motorcyclists believe helmets are only necessary when driving on high speed motorways, not in common road.

I also found a lot of government officials such as police and soldiers were not wearing helmets, they are not downplay the significance of safety but harassing state law because they consider themselves is the law itself so it does not have to obey the rules of traffic passed. Traffic police are also very susceptible put through corruption. If there are foreign nationals who are not wearing a helmet it will be stopped and asked for money around 5-10 dollars, but very rarely citizens of Cambodia that in order to stop if they do not wear a helmet or violate traffic rules.

Uniquely Cambodian Government will impose a penalty system that great value as of April 2015. They were riding a motorcycle was not wearing a helmet or more than three people (2 adults and 1 small child) will be fined USD 1000. Will it be effective if the corrupt government officials and simply too happy unlawful?
Cambodia may just want to dream like state of Singapore, but on the various aspects are much different, especially the discipline, work ethic and philosophy of national is very much different. But it must be tried in order to become a better Country.
