Today, after weeks of watching car after car of solo drivers go by in the carpool lane every day, I decided to join them. I'm the one who got pulled over. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was singing and drumming on the steering wheel in my car while stuck in traffic, only to realize the car next to me was full of my carpooling coworkers, all staring at me in disbelief. They spent the day at the office requesting songs. FML
Today, I was bored and decided it would be fun to pretend to be an undercover cop and pull over other cars. The first car I pulled over was a real undercover cop. FML
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. FML
Today, after driving a few hours late at night I decided to entertain the car tailgating me by not letting him pass. After doing this for 3miles, reaching 93MPH, I decided to let the car pass me. When I switched lanes, the car tailgating me light up in red and blue. It was a cop. FML
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 was learning to drive a stick when a cop decided to pull me over just to laugh at me. 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
Today, being the new driver I am, I was trying to keep my speed at posted because I know that cops will target me. I ended up getting pulled over for my too-low speed and given a ticket because I was holding up a line of cars. FML
Today, a cop pulled me over because there was a sign hidden behind a tree that said "No left turn". As I was getting my ticket, I watched as three cars turned left. The cop saw them, laughed, and said, "I guess you're the unlucky one." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That drives me crazy when people solo drive in the multi-passenger lanes.

The lesson in that experience: The fact that other people do it does NOT make it okay for YOU to do it. YDI, dumbass.

I'm sorry OP. I once got pulled over and ticketed for running a yellow light. Now every time I see someone run a yellow light with a cop sitting there, they don't get pulled over. It's quite frustrating.

By joining them you became one of the solo drivers that others were angry about when you drove past them. Yet you seem to expect sympathy. Why? What makes you so special that you deserve any sympathy at all?

I don't know about the regulations where you live nor what was in effect in the time you got the ticket. I come from the future and can tell you that in California for a fee and if you drive specific hybrid cars, you are allowed to drive in the carpool lane with only one person in the vehicle.

they probably had cars that were hybrids or only ran on electricity
