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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was pulled over and was given a $300 ticket for going 90mph on a 70mph highway. The cop swore he saw my silver car darting in and out of traffic. A couple of minutes earlier that exact car had passed me while I was following the speed limit. 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 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
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I tried to make a joke to ease the tension and said, "I’m just trying to keep up with the traffic!" The officer looked around at the empty road and said, "What traffic? Are you under the influence? HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" It went downhill from there. FML
Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. 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 home, I saw a cop with a speed gun "hidden" by the side of the road. I went to slow down so the fuck-knob wouldn't be able to ticket me. I then had a brain-fart and floored the gas instead of hitting the brakes. Hello speeding ticket. FML
Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This just goes to show that being "too" careful also has consequences.

Don't worry driving will hopefully get easier... strange how he didn't just give you a warning considering you're a new driver

If you're not comfortable doing 50 in a 50 zone for example, then you shouldn't be driving

Thank you! The road by my house is 50 and EVERYONE Goes 40. They kept saying "what if its new drivers from the high school? 50 is fast." Well there are other ways to get to the subdivision guys.

The speed limit is what your suppose to drive yes, but in reality you are suppose to go the speed of traffic because it's also illegal to impeed traffic *rainbow* the more you know

I agree with the others. Contest it in traffic court. If you were going the speed limit, there's no way they can charge you for going 'too slowly'.

Driving too slow is dangerous aswell OP. FYL for meaning well and having it backfire on you...

That's why it's a good idea to go with the flow of traffic. That's also why most people go 25 plus over on the freeway because the posted speed isn't nearly fast enough, which sucks for everyone.

just so you know... you can't be ticketed for driving the speed limit. most places do have laws about driving too far under it though. so... either contest the ticket or you were driving at the wrong speed.

Driving too slow is called impeding the flow of traffic and it can be dangerous especially on speedways where people are merging. I can't tell you how many times I have used a merge lane to speed up to the posted limit, only to have to slow down 40km/h to merge.
