Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML
Today, I was driving home when a guy crashed into me from behind. I got out of my car and told him that I was going to call the cops. He then asked me if we could move to a corner because we were blocking the way, so we then got back in to move. I looked in the mirror to see him driving off. FML
Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML
Today, I got rear-ended at a stop sign on a seldom used road in my neighborhood. As I open my car door to trade insurance information with the guy, he backs up a little and speeds away, taking my car door with him. FML
Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML
Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, I watched as a guy hit my car, laugh when he saw me running towards him, and drive away. FML
Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It doesn't make you a good driver for stopping at a yellow light when you could've gone through. It makes you a douchebag for stopping short and causing the guy behind you to bump you.. of course he's a douchebag too for running away. I guess everyone's a douchebag in this story

Ohh god, the guy should've realized you were stopping because your break lights would've shown. He was probably riding up on your tailgate so far that when you went to stop he crashsed into you. Then he decided to be a jackass and take off leaving you there.

#1 - If you're following too close to someone to stop when they stop, then you're at fault.

I don't think it would have made you a bad driver to keep going with the yellow light..but it does suck that the person left without exchanging info with you. Comeuppance shall go his way!

this is why you never do stuff like this. I'm assuming you have a cell phone with a camera. next time, try taking a picture of the persons license plate ASAP so that way if they drive off, you have their information

#1 Gotta say I think the biggest douchebag is you. Legally speaking, yellow means "stop if you can without slamming on your brakes." My aunt actually got a ticket for running a yellow light once when stopping would have been perfectly reasonable considering how far back she was when it changed. And to the OP, it sucks that happened. That's why the first thing I do whenever something happens to me involving another driver is get their license plate number. Hope you did, too!

@ #, I don't think you know how to drive at all.

@1 This just in, YOU are the douchebag. For various reasons: 1) if you crash from behind, it is your fault for not driving at a safe distance; 2) yellow means: stop OR go, depending on your safety assessment of distance/speed/time. 3) given 2, if there is a car between you and a yellow light, it is sensible to stop - you don't know what the other driver is gonna do, so you should go safe. Assume the other driver is stopping, and plan to stop too. I, for one, drive at moderate speed and stop at most yellow lights. If you hear end me on a yellow light, I'm gonna spank you.
