A motorcyclist caught riding without a helmet during Thailand's Songkran new year celebrations had to jump off his bike - and do push-ups. <br /><br />The eagle-eyed cop noticed the reveller without a hard hat in Chonburi, eastern Thailand on Tuesday (16/04). <br /><br />He quickly pulled him over but rather than deal with the paperwork and an inevitable fine, the charitable traffic cop made him do 20 push-ups on the wet roadside. <br /><br />''I hope they learned their lesson and they remember to wear their helmet next time,'' said onlooker Katy Green. <br /><br />Police in Thailand often resort to unorthodox punishments such as making traffic offenders do push-ups when the offence is relatively minor and it involves a young person who would not be able to afford an on-the-spot fine.
