Traffic rules - Which rules do I need to follow?

Usually if you drive a car in Cambodia you need a Cambodian driving license. This rule just applies for tourists who stay longer than three months. With an application form, a copy of the German driver's license, a certified translation of the driver's license in English, a copy of the passport and a valid Cambodian visa, you can request a Cambodian drivers license for a fee. Most tourists stay for less than 3 months. If you are one of them the Cambodian police accepts your national drivers licenses. However, we recommend you to bring an international drivers license. You can easily get it at the road traffic office in your area with a valid passport photo and your driving licence for a small fee.
