the road. While traffic moves at a slow and meandering pace, it's a little overwhelming
when you want to cross the road.
Rule of thumb is that motorbikes and tuktuks will generally go around you, but cars will
not. Lexus SUVs, emblazoned with an eight-inch “LEXUS” on the door, seem intent on
running down anything in their way - and generally smile as they do so - so it's wise to
give them a wide berth. Vehicles will often not stop at stop signs or red lights. Traffic cops
with whistles ineffectually try to direct cars and motorbikes, and everyone drives on the
wrong side of the street if their destination is in sight.
There are also a number of SUVs and luxury cars with a “VIP” sticker displayed on the
front dashboard. That could mean they are Cambodian bigwigs and you don't want to
tangle with, get into an accident with, or have an argument with them. Their importance in
Cambodian society will overshadow any sense of right or wrong, so keep your peace with
them.
