Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, the car in front of me was going slow and I flashed my lights and honked. I floored it and passed the car, flipping off the driver. Just as I went around the next corner, I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. A few seconds later, the guy I flipped off drove by honked and waved. FML
Today, I was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML
Today, I received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. 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 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, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. Knowing how much more it would cost in the long run, I handed the officer my license with $300 in cash, "as something to consider for just a warning." He came back with a ticket and verbally warned me that police bribery is a felony. He kept the money. FML
Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML

Haha that sucks. It was a nice deed, too bad you didn't notice it was a cop. Did he give you another ticket? I don't know if there's anything illegal about that.

Wow there sure are a lot of people on their high horse here. Get over it, s/he was trying to help out another driver. Lots do it, and most appreciate it. I love how people here act as if they are the epitome of perfection and can do no wrong. "omg u flashed ur brites. ur a bad persun. ttly ydi!!!1" Get over yourselves. Why do people always feel the need to bash on OPs? They're sharing their misfortune to brighten our days.

#30 Hm, I guess you're right. I'm from Nebraska, so I guess it's safe to assume this person isn't from the US.

People DO do this in the US, 33. I have seen it before where I come from (Illinois). Anyway, bad move. I never flash my beams for people. If they're speeding fast enough, I say they deserve the ticket for law breaking. Besides, their speeding is not my problem.

op: You should have told the 2nd cop that you were flashing your lights to warn him/her of the (insert name of large animal here) that was darting across the road. You were obviously just trying to prevent an accident...

Yeah, fail :( Pretty sure it's illegal in NYS, but I do it anyway :P There was one case where a cop flashed his lights (when I did that), but I guess he was feeling lazy that day and didn't bother going after me. "Speeding" while illegal is a complete bullshit law. When I have to go across 3 states to get to some of my college friends' places driving 65mph is not an option unless I want to waste another hour taking a nap at some rest stop. They should make at least the interstate highways (like I-90 in NY) @ 100mph or so - that would easily save you an hour or two traveling even from NYC to Buffalo (cross-state). Those who say "YDI for breaking the law": do you follow every law like goons? Do you ever stop to question the validity of the said law? Is J-walking breaking the law? Have you never J-walked? Come on, get real

YDI, why would randomly annoying someone by flashing your lights at them be a good idea?
