Today, I got pulled over for a traffic violation. Thinking I could get away with it, I spoke with a French accent. The officer then asked me a question in perfect French. I got a ticket. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was pulled over for speeding. I speak 4 languages and thought if I spoke French, the Officer would let me off with a warning thinking I was a tourist. Afterwards I turned to my wife and said, "I can't believe that worked." He was a few feet away and heard. FML
Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML
Today, I accidentally edged over the speed limit and got pulled over. The officer asked me if I knew why he'd pulled me over. Before I could say something diplomatic, my dad said from the passenger seat, "Because you're a prick in fancy dress?" I got ticketed. 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, I got pulled over during my driving test. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. After the cop asked for my license, he started laughing when he saw my picture. FML
Today, I got pulled over for going about 88mph. When the cop asked why I was speeding, I replied, "I was trying to go back in time." He didn't like that answer and gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I know that I was in the wrong and will take responsibility for that. When the cop handed me my ticket, he asked me if I was smoking crack. I denied it because I don't do drugs. He asked me what that foul odor was. I was passing gas. FML
Today, I got stopped by the fuzz. The officer told me he "could care less" about my excuses. He was probably about to let me go without a ticket, but my inner Grammar Nazi kicked in and I explained why he meant to say "couldn't care less." I got the ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over on the highway for going over the speed limit. The cop seemed nice, and I was sure he'd let me off with a warning, until my husband piped up with, "Didn't think you folks came out this far. What, the donut store got shut down or some shit?" I got the ticket. FML

Well, if you were following the rules of the road, this wouldn't have happened.

Win for the cop! I hope he tripled after you tried getting off a ticket with french... up here there's a provence full of tax vampires called Quebec where speaking French makes them feel like they're above the law too...

By tax vampires, surely you mean province that pays the most provincial/territorial income taxes? By a large margin.

YDI for your spectacular provincial taxes based on the toxic culture of corruption, greed an intolerance of anyone but the french in Quebec. FML for having to tolerate a province loot our federal treasury with extreme disproportion causing all Canadians to fund your toxic culture. Separate all ready, Canada needs Quebec like Michael J Fox needs Parkinson's disease!

Okay 94, i don't know what frenchie ever shat in yout cheerios but calm down. French culture is beautiful and it is extremely ignorant of you to call all Quebecois toxic and corrupt. You obviously don't know what you are talking about

Ydi.. "To get out of it, I tried farting. The cop didn't like it.. Guess who got a ticket? Fml" Seriously, this plan might have worked better than your french plan...

You should only ever try this trick if you can speak the language of the nationaility you are pretending to be. If you can't make the effort to learn a second language, you don't have the right to pretend. Of course, you could always try just being honest and admit to your mistakes.
