Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis left shamed after his mistake.
The rocker was red-faced after he was cited for riding a moped without a helmet while on a festive break in St. Barts.
He fell foul of the law on Friday after a French official stopped him on his scooter because he was wearing a baseball cap instead of protective headgear.
Kiedis was handed a ticket but but he refused to let the traffic offence spoil his vacation - the singer was later spotted on a beach, surfing and enjoying the sunny weather.
