Today, coming home from a trip in the mountains, I got a cracked radiator and my car overheated. My dad came to get me, he drove my car and I followed in his. I got pulled over and ticketed for his expired registration. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, I got pulled over for having an expired registration. I also found out my husband hasn't been paying for my car insurance. Luckily, I didn't get arrested because I had my baby with me. They towed my car and gave me two tickets and a court date. Oh, and the cop sent me a friend request. FML
Today, I got pulled over and was given a ticket because my exhaust was too loud. I got this ticket while on my way to get said exhaust fixed. 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, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML
Today, I got pulled over by a cop and got slammed with a ticket for expired tabs on my motorcycle. The DMV was literally across the street. I was heading there to get new tabs. FML
Today, my car wouldn't start, so I had to wait for AAA. Then, hurrying to pick up my brother, I got a $161 speeding ticket. Twenty minutes later, I got a call from him saying he didn't need a ride anymore. FML
Today, I was pulled over and given a ticket for a broken tail light. On the way to the mechanic. To get my tail light fixed. FML
Today, I thought my car was overheating. I then thought it was wise to put my hand close to my muffler to feel the heat. Needless to say, I stuck my entire hand on my muffler then had to drive around with the only cold thing in my car. A cold beer from my cooler. Yes, I got pulled over. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Can't you just tell the cop that it isn't your car and you're driving it for your dad? If he drove out to help you he's surely nearby to help. Unless he blew you off. Then FYL, OP

Policeman hear that all the time do you think he will make an exception for no notable reason?

I'm saying if his dad came to help him, he'd be driving right in front of his son and stop back to see what the problem was. If he didn't ditch him there that is.

I would have just walked home from there.

probably cheaper than a new radiator

Radiators aren't that expensive nor hard to install (on most vehicles). And driving without registration is a moderate ticket, but if you go to a shop, the ticket is probably the cheaper end...

Your Father got lucky, you...not so much. You can always ask him to pay it.

If you're in NC, just get it inspected and renew the tag before the court date, then take it to the DA of the county you got ticketed in any they'll dismiss it. Been there done that :)

The part I don't get is why you switched cars. Unless he's mechanically minded and wanted to listen for broken-car noises or something.

My car had a problem with the brakes once, and I was scared to drive it home in fear that I'd be going down a hill and wouldn't be able to brake. My dad was more comfortable driving it and using the ebrake, so he drove it home for me.
