Today, I decided that I was going to get my front license plate put back on my car after two years of having it off. In these two years I somehow never got pulled over for it, as it is illegal to drive without one in MD. On my way there, I got pulled over for not having a front license plate. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got my new license plate, which is the story of my life. FML
Today, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML
Today, I got a $200 ticket mailed to me for drunk driving in Maryland. I have never been pulled over for drunk driving and I have never been to Maryland. FML
Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML
Today, I received a notice that I'm being fined for failure to renew my Florida license. I've lived in Maryland for the last seven years and I've never had a Florida license. FML
Today, I finally went to the DMV to replace my lost license. After waiting for almost two hours, I casually rummaged through my purse. Something strange inside the lining caught my eye. It was my license. FML
Today, I took my parking permit off my car to debate a ticket that I got for not having my permit displayed. Twenty minutes later, when I got back to my car, I had another ticket on my window for not having my parking permit displayed because I was using it to disprove the first ticket. FML
Today, I was driving to the DMV to take a test, after getting some points removed from my license. On the way there, I got a speeding ticket and got my license suspended completely. FML
Today, I got pulled by a cop because I forgot to put my registration sticker on. I get nervous around authority and have nervous shakes. I ripped the registration sticker 3 times trying to put it on. The cop then gave me a ticket for "Improper Equipment". FML
Today, I got pulled over for violating hands-free law and not having an updated address on my driver's license. Two days ago, I got pulled over for the same reasons. Now, I have four tickets I need to deal with. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Can't you put your plates on by yourself?

I don't get why you didn't just put it on yourself....but That's life. I'm from WV and couldn't get a new inspection sticker because my windshield was cracked. I got a new windshield...and on the way to get a new inspection sticker put on said windshield got pulled over. Totally feeling your pain.

So basically it's a FML because you were finally caught for KNOWINGLY doing something illegal? Your fault.

YDI for driving somewhere to put your plate on. It's not hard.

#12 He deserves it because he left his car in a state that he KNEW was illegal for TWO FRIGGIN YEARS. #57 Two plates are far from redundant; you'll realise that when you get involved in an accident and only see the front of the other car, or the CCTV camera you have set up to watch your home and business gets rendered useless in tracking down the car the robbers used because they parked facing the camera, or any number of other reasons. It's a little hypocritical of me, though, as I ride a motorcycle, and they're exempt from displaying a front plate. ^_^

Maybe the OPs front plate was stolen or she/he lost it and therefore had to go get a new one before putting it on?! In Germany you always have to have two license plates...that's because we don't have cops with radar guns, we have speeding cameras everywhere and in the nice picture they will see your face and your plate number -_- those things can be a bitch :D
