PHNOM PENH: Senior Minister of Public Works, Sun Chanthol, said that there are currently 349,000 vehicle users who are driving on an expired license. He urged them to apply for renewal at the ministry's public service facilities.

Speaking at the opening of the Samrong Andet Vehicle Inspection Station in Phnom Penh on the morning of 21 April 2023, Sun Chanthol called on all those whose licenses have expired to renew them at a government office without needing to go through a broker.

He said, "When the police began to check for expired licenses, people said that they were just after money. No! They are following the law, which states that drivers must renew their driver's license before it expires. Police don’t issue fines because they want to, but because they are enforcing the law.”

The minister said that traffic accidents are still a major concern for the government. He said that traffic accidents in Cambodia kill an average of 5 people per day, or 150 people per month, and that they cause a loss of about $450 million USD per year.
