Transportation: Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket....

Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML

Same thing different taste

Today, the car in front of me was going slow and I flashed my lights and honked. I floored it and passed the car, flipping off the driver. Just as I went around the next corner I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. A few seconds later, the guy I flipped off drove by honked and waved. FML

Today, I was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML

Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML

Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML

Today, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. FML

Great move

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. Knowing how much more it would cost in the long run, I handed the officer my license with $300 in cash, "as something to consider for just a warning." He came back with a ticket and verbally warned me that police bribery is a felony. He kept the money. FML

Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML

Haha that sucks. It was a nice deed, too bad you didn't notice it was a cop. Did he give you another ticket? I don't know if there's anything illegal about that.

Wow there sure are a lot of people on their high horse here. Get over it, s/he was trying to help out another driver. Lots do it, and most appreciate it. I love how people here act as if they are the epitome of perfection and can do no wrong. "omg u flashed ur brites. ur a bad persun. ttly ydi!!!1" Get over yourselves. Why do people always feel the need to bash on OPs? They're sharing their misfortune to brighten our days.

He probably pulled you over because you were driving into oncoming traffic. Really, how are you gonna warn the car IN FRONT of you about a speed trap that you're PULLING AWAY from.

seriously? Cars can be going two different directions on one road. What do you think the yellow line is for?

I agree with #3: "[Speed] off and don't let them catch you" is a great way to not get tickets. Run some red lights and drive recklessly while you're at it. Then jump out and try to get away on foot. We can watch the heli-cam on COPS.

Awe man that sucks but unfortunately sometimes you have to be selfish. However, if there's an "island" inbetween, go for it coz they can't come to your lane

I'm really scared about doing that exact thing, everytime I drive past a cop with his speed gun out or a camera, I want to flash the other cars to let them know, but I am terrified one will be a cop :P hehe. Sucks that you got caught flashing, you should have just said you hit it by accident. Also, Don't speed!

Yes, 15. That's always so easy to do. You apparently don't drive long distances a lot. I bet you're the kind of person who stays in the fast lane doing the actual speed limit. >.< I'm always afraid to flash for this reason, too. >.< But my butt has been saved by people doing it for me so I try and do it for other people sometimes, too.
