Civil servants told: no helmet, penalties apply
Civil servants and factory workers will be required to wear helmets when riding their motorbikes to work under a government plan to stem traffic fatalities. The deputy commissioner of the National Police told Khmer Times on March 13 that the internal rules were announced internally last month. Lieutenant General Him Yan reiterated the government’s commitment to reducing traffic accidents, adding that the latest initiative encourages public and private companies to help protect employees on the roads. “We’ve set it as an internal rule for officials in state departments, workers at factories and staff at other participating institutes who ride a motorcycle to work,” Lt. Gen. Yan said.
