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

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.

Number 20 never took drivers ed - slow on yellow, break on red. If you approach the light just as it turns yellow, the wrong thing to do is to stop

most important point, if you ever get in an accident and it's more than like 400 dollars worth of damage you dont move the car, you call the police, also you should carry a disposable camera with u and take a pic of the dmg and of their car after the accident.

You're supposed to follow far enough behind to be able to stop without hitting anyone. You should train yourself to memorize license plates.

how can you NOT have taken the plate number first???

#25, in TX you also don't have to take an actual driver's test, which is why half the people in the state can't (and don't deserve to) drive. I'm almost surprised you even *know* what the right thing is to do. (Sorry, I'm bitter. I hate driving in Austin. Or sometimes even riding with friends that "learned to drive" in Texas, for that matter. D= )

#1 is either not a driver or a part of the problem.

On Long Island, if you stop at a yellow light- you're going to get your car totaled. I'd have to know where you were from to know if you were doing the right thing. Sorry that jerk left you hanging though.

#5, that's not necessarily true. I've stopped reasonably in advance at a light and still got rear ended by some guy who was clearly not paying attention (it was a few seconds later). He turned around and sped off immediately after, and his license plate actually FELL off his car. I called the police, but they said unless there was actual damage to my car (there wasn't) they couldn't do anything. Also, I'd have had to seen his face, and I didn't, since it was night. Pretty useless.

I lol'd. Must've been so frustrating seeing him drive away. I would've caught up with him
