Ung Chun Huor, the deputy-director of the department of transportation of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, said that globally, based on current observations, 30% of car drivers do not have a driving license. Ung Chun Huor made this declaration at a department conference held at the end of April. He said that this percentage applied not only to passenger car drivers, but also to commercial drivers. Ung Chun Huor said that during driving tests at his department, the percentage of those who pass the test is very small. Relatives of the drivers’ relatives and high-ranking officials then intervene with his department so that their children or relatives can pass the test. Regarding traffic safety, Ung Chun Huor said that a number of driving schools are only competing to make a profit, and they publish all kind of advertisements to attract a large number of driving students only.
