But he may not be able to do this for much longer - as the Cambodian government is about to introduce stricter traffic laws in an effort to cut down traffic accidents in the country.

An extra 4,000 cops will be deployed to enforce the rules - and hand out bigger fines.

At least 1,980 people died and 6,140 others were injured in over 4,000 road accidents in 2019 in the Asian nation.

It comes as more than 100 Britons chartered their own plane back to the UK after becoming stranded in Cambodia earlier this year.

After the country shut its borders amidst the coronavirus outbreak, stranded couple Jerry and Karen Lewis found themselves stuck in Cambodia after their flight home was canceled.

The couple used Facebook to put together a list of 103 stranded UK citizens willing to cover the six-figure sum needed to charter a Malaysia Airlines flight home.

They are now safely home after the flight left on 27th March.
