To be a good driver and it takes good habit! Now if these damn people don't adopt good habit and no damn law on Earth can protect the life of the innocence!
It is time to declare war on all the reckless driving behavior now!
I agree, but you must realized that there have been a lot new roads in Cambodia, and they haven't got the hang of it yet. It will take sometime for them to adjust.
Aside from that, I would like to send my condolences to all victims-of-modernization family, relatives, and friends. Their faiths are strong, and they will be fine.
