Boy, these UFC fighters just can't stay on the right side of the law! Mike "Quick" Swick lived up to his nickname when he got busted for traffic violations in Thailand. From his blog:

After 2 days in Phuket, I finally got busted! It was bound to happen eventually. I am not even 100% sure what I did wrong. Thats bad I guess. I think I ran a red light and made an illegal turn. Either way, I had to drive my motorcycle straight to the Chalong Police station to pay my fine. After spending the rest of the night reading "Motorcycle Driving In Thailand As A Foreigner For Dummies" over a seafood dinner, I am ready to obey the laws of the Thai roadway tomorrow!

Mike, you think you ran a red light? Here's some advice: Red is red, even in Thailand. So when you see green, you go. When you see red, you stop. Got it? Good.
