As a farang i'd imagine they'd take you the station and detain you until your wife brings it and your passport
In a town in the sticks they take the car/motorcycle keys. Up to you how you get to the police station, pay yer fine and return with a receipt to get yer car/motorcycle. If its out of town there is an officer that sits at a table on the roadside that you can pay yer fine to. In our village they always do the road stops outside the police station so's you aren't too inconvenienced in paying your fine.
