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 was pulled over and was given a $300 ticket for going 90mph on a 70mph highway. The cop swore he saw my silver car darting in and out of traffic. A couple of minutes earlier that exact car had passed me while I was following the speed limit. 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 was smoking while driving. A cop pulled me over and asked if I knew what I did wrong. I thought he could smell the tobacco, so I decided to just admit it. As it turns out, I was going well over the speed limit. FML

Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML

Today, while driving home, I saw a cop with a speed gun "hidden" by the side of the road. I went to slow down so the fuck-knob wouldn't be able to ticket me. I then had a brain-fart and floored the gas instead of hitting the brakes. Hello speeding 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

Today, being the new driver I am, I was trying to keep my speed at posted because I know that cops will target me. I ended up getting pulled over for my too-low speed and given a ticket because I was holding up a line of cars. FML

Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. 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

total idiot i m not a nerd or geek but even i know if he speed up enough (close to light speed) he will go to future instead of going past.... he is failed at both being nerd or geek and trying to make up excuse

You're a total idiot for not getting the classic reference!

#147 Actually if you speed up you will arrive at the destination before you left...thats the idea of going faster than light...so he would still go to the past. There are some theories that if you go faster than the speed of light that you can just move freely in time (forward or backward)...but thats a side note. Point is he didnt fail at being a nerd/geek he was making a reference that you obviously didnt understand, and made a stupid comment to hide your idiocy.

Most educated people know this, and I'm surprised you think people on FML care =P The point is that this is a movie reference. OP is still wrong...dude, you got ticketed because you didn't say "I WAS TRYIN' TO GET BACK TO THE FUTURE!"

if your speed is near light speed, you will arrive your destination earlier than normal. this means you traveled to future total stupid ***** this is not a theory this is FACT, and until proven otherwise it is impossible to traveling past theory= not proven can be change fact= proven

alright i m going to explain in detail 1- time is revelant this means there is no such universal 'this moment' Einstein 2-like it or not everything is going to future with diffrent speed (it changes by gravitional effects on them and their movement speed) AND you can only change your time traveling speed (faster or slower) Stephen Hawking this means if anything's speed is near light speed it will travel in time to future again but in a slower rate eventually it will reach it's own future. since there is no such 'that moment' in destination that thing will arrive the conclusion is thing will arrive at future. if the object travel in time slower than its sorroundings it will spend less time to reach its future. Please understand that these are facts not theories.

Next time be sure to pack extra plutonium so you can go back in time to prevent the cop from giving you a ticket... Just be careful not to run into your other self...
