A stint in Cambodia teaches you to appreciate road rules.
Traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, the give-way rule and seat belts reveal themselves as true blessings.
In my time in Cambodia I was honked at, swerved past, almost run over and driven into the path of an oncoming concrete truck by an unrepentant tuk tuk driver.
A six-hour trip from the capital Phnom Penh to Siem Reap was a game of dodge-the oncoming-death-trap. It was no surprise to learn that Cambodia has one of the highest rates of road fatalities in Asia.
