Hands-free motorists handed a reprimand, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

An impromptu display of moto acrobatics resulted in the arrest of two men in Battambang’s Wat Kor commune yesterday.

The pair were spotted by police driving up and down the street, with the driver using only his feet to steer, to the considerable alarm of passersby.

The amateur acrobats were released after signing a statement promising they would not try out their unorthodox hands-free driving technique again.
