Mob Sarin, the Phnom Penh vice-governor, reminded motorists about the legal date cutoff for the purchase of 2008 vehicle stickers.

The 2008 stickers were put to sale until November 15. However, because of numerous holidays during this period (Independence Day, Water Festival), the cutoff date for the purchase was delayed to 25 November. According to an announce issued by Keat Chhon, the minister of Economy and Finance, those who buy the stickers after 26 November will have to pay a fine amounting to the double of the sticker cost. Vehicle stickers cost 5,000 riels ($1.25) for motorcycles, and 80,000 riels ($20) for cars. The price increases according to the number of car motor cyclinders.

The stickers, put on sale since 15 August, were bought by about 80% of the motorists, Mob Sarin indicated.

Sorry to inform you...
I never saw a dropping cost..
Last 2 years, we have to pay 100 000 riels per car, now 80 000 riels...
Same thing for motorcycles..
last it's 7000 riels.. this year 5000 riels.
I am not sure it's the real information we have here...

For the same thing, it's almost the only cost
that it's the same for everybody in Cambodia.
In others areas, license plate or else,
nobody knows the real cost...

4500 riels for motobike is surely correct. And 80,000 riels for small car like Tico, 100,000 riels for Corrola.

But the worse case is the person in-charge for selling this sticker alway need extra money.
