Makes sense to me! More money for tuk-tuk drivers, what can possibly be wrong with that? They have families to feed too ya know. ;-)

Sihanoukville motodops seek ban on tourist rentals Chhay Channyda
Wednesday, 02 May 2012
About 300 motodop and tuk-tuk drivers participating in an International Labour Day march yesterday in Sihanoukville were blocked from handing a petition to provincial authorities by a barricade of more than 100 police and military police officers, drivers said.
Heng Sam Om, secretary-general of the Independent Democracy of Informal Economy Association, told the Post that about 600 motodop and tuk-tuk drivers tried to join the march, but were blocked by the enormous police force that also prevented the drivers from submitting a petition to the provincial governor.
The drivers want a blanket ban on motorbike rentals for foreign tourists.
“We don’t want to rent motorbikes, because foreign tourists don’t know Khmer habits when driving; they don’t comply with the law, and some drive by keeping on the left side, so that causes traffic accidents,” Heng Sam Om said.
The drivers also want bus companies to end courtesy hotel pick-ups for customer
