Speed racer

Today, I got a speeding ticket. My speedometer got busted a few weeks back, rendering it useless. My father, a former mechanic, decided it's not worth the trouble of going in and fixing it. "Just keep with traffic when you're on the highway; you'll be fine." This $150 fee says otherwise. FML

YDI for not getting it fixed, regardless what your father said.

What if you're the only car on the street, on a school zone?

Sheesh. No wonder your dad is a -former- mechanic. That should have been your first clue.

Well if it's your car then it's your responsibility, it's just common sense to have a working speedometer. YDI.

im gonna go against the norm and say FYL because usally you dont really need a speedometer you can usally tell how fast is a good speed for the road your on and for the highway usally kepping up with traffic is fine you should of course get it fixed eventually but its not exactly a priority or at least it sholdnt be

this isnt really a fml, because you can just plead in court that your speedometer was broken

Yeah, because they'll totally let you off the hook for not fixing your car. It be like running into a bank with a faulty gun that misfires a lot and trying to claim that you didn't mean to shoot everyone, they wouldn't care. YDI for not fixing your car on your own. There's tons of mechanics out there, you should have sought one that wasn't a lazy ass like your father.

Actually, if you say that they can give you ANOTHER fine for driving a car that isn't properly equipped.

Say you were going to get it fixed and you couldn't get there any other way?
