Police cease impounding big bikes with loud exhaust pipes
Tue, 12 January 2021
Phnom Penh municipal police chief Sar Thet has ordered police forces in the capital’s 14 districts to temporarily halt the practice of stopping large motorcycles that he said are unusually noisy or loud. The order remains in effect until further notice.
This is a temporary suspension of the order given on January 8 by Minister of Interior Sar Kheng. He had ordered police forces and the Ministry of Public Works and Transport to intercept all motorcycles that were noisy and disturbing the peace.
The new directive came after municipal police recently intercepted 60 motorcycles alleged to have exhaust pipes that had been modified to make them noisier. According to the police, the sounds had disturbed people and were contrary to the maintenance of public order.
