Jonathan Fairfield Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Get down and give me 20: Tough punishment for schoolboy traffic violators BANGKOK:-- Following the news of the crackdown on traffic violators in Thailand, it seems the authorities really do mean business. Today, a traffic police punished two school boys who violated traffic rules by ordering them to do push-ups in the middle of the road in the Bang Khen area of Bangkok. The picture above has been shared through various social network outlets in Thailand and has received largely positive comments among Thai people who have seen the funny side of the incident.

It's certainly no laughing matter, I don't know what the road violation was, but these schoolboys are one of the reasons for Thailand having so many road fatalities, and they probably do not have a licence.

Perhaps a little dangerous initially but OK once the front line of cars were halted. Well done traffic officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Briggsy Posted July 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2014 Proper press-ups should have a straight line from the ankle to the shoulder. These 2 cheats not only are flouting several traffic laws but are also cheating with the press-ups by holding their hips up high. These are no press-ups. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Cop really wasn't thinking about the traffic jam this little stunt generated..... yes, nor did he account for the mindset of these kids: these two have now become heroes for their peers with their pictures on the internet.

freebyrd Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 A safer location would have been preferable. Tough punishment!? 20 years in the army, received cartloads in training, sometimes completely submeresed in a water ditch. I also dished out thousands as a Physical training Instructor. All part of character building in the giving and receiving. I don't think the internet generation, worldwide, know the meaning of the word tough.

Krataiboy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Get them off their motorcycles and on to bicycles for a month and don't let them back on until they have had driving lessons and a test - and make them wear the crash helmets which are conspicuous by their absence in the picture. Assuming, that is, they are old enough to drive (15) - which appears debatable, judging by their appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same colour - full face proper helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
