Keo Savin, the director of the department of land transport and the secretariat for the national committee of land traffic safety, indicated that from September until now, 135 free motorcycle driving lesson sessions have been organized all over the country, with the participation of 31,346 students, and driver licenses were issued to 5,809 motorcyclists. Keo Savin told Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper on 15 November 2007 that the free driving lessons have not ended yet. At the same time, private driving schools have also opened in various provinces as well. Since 1990 until mid-2007, the number of motorcyclists with a valid driver license amounted to only 2,085. Since the application of the new traffic law which requires that all motorcyclists obtain their driver licenses, the number of people who detained a driver license has increased to 7,894 counting up to November.
