The launch of the new land traffic law was celebrated in the morning of 11 September 2007 at the Olympic Stadium under the presence of Sok An, the vice-prime minister and minister at the council of ministers, and several embassy officials in Cambodia. The launching day of the new traffic law is very meaningful because it will be accompanied by public education so that people clearly understand this law, such as for example, the use of helmets, the use of safety belts, not to drink alcohol while driving, not to drive over the speed limit, etc… Currently, traffic accidents constitute the second highest danger in Cambodia behind AIDS. In 2006, in average, there were 4 deaths and 71 injured per day, this number represents a net increase over the statistics from previous years. Sok An called the launching of the new traffic law a wake up call for Cambodian people to change their attitude if they do not clearly understand about the traffic law and the respect of the traffic law during their travels or during their driving.
