Today, I lost control of my vehicle while driving. The car went off the road, rolled over, and ended up being totaled. The policeman asked me if I was alright and I said I was. He seemed relieved at my answer. Then he handed me a $300 ticket for failing to maintain my lane. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving to work when a state trooper rammed into my car from behind, because he was on the cell phone and not paying attention. He gave me a ticket for "Failure to control speed to avoid a crash." FML
Today, I was driving a little over the speed limit, when I saw a cop car waiting to join the road ahead of me. I quickly hit the brakes so they wouldn't have a payday with me. I hit the brakes too hard, lost control and almost ended up on someone's lawn. 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, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML
Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. FML
Today, I crashed into a pole on purpose as a cop pulled me over for speeding. I figured the officer would feel bad for me and that the cost of fixing my car would be less than a ticket. He gave me one anyway. FML
Today, I was driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front of me swerving across 3 lanes of traffic. Thinking he might be drunk, I dialed 911 on my phone, but I dropped it. I fished under my seat to get it, swerving, and got pulled over by highway patrol and given a field sobriety test. 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, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML
Today, I was speeding a little on the highway. I thought I saw a police car, so I slammed on my brakes, causing the person behind me to rear end me. The "police car" I saw was just a broken down car on the side of the road. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Same thing happened to me, OP. I lost control of my car from no fault of my own, bounced off a guardrail, shot across 3 lanes of highway, missed everyone else on the road, and hit the other guardrail. I was fine, missed everyone else on the road, but totaled my car. I called the highway patrol to report the accident, and when the cop showed up, he wrote me a $600 ticket for "speed too fast for conditions"...I asked how he was going to write me a ticket for something he wasn't there to witness and he just stared at me. Fought the ticket and won, I suggest you look into fighting it.

I take your mention of no other driver as grounds that you crashed the car all by yourself. That's a legitimate reason to get a ticket. You would have gotten in after you got out of the hospital if you weren't alright.

in some states, if there is damage to state property a citation MUST be issued. A guardrail, road sign, curb, bridge, or barricade could warrant a ticket. while everyone is placing fault to the officer, you should consider that the officer may have cited a lesser offense to to still comply with dept policy an at the same time cut the driver a slight break

You completely deserved this. Accidents are caused for a reason. People like you are the reason.

Moron. Sometimes accidents are exactly that, accidents. Shit happens. Kind of like you being born.

I recently had my car totaled because the car ahead of me slammed on brakes to turn in the rain. I swerved out of the way and got hit by a truck, car totaled and neck injury I got handed a reckless driving ticket while in the hospital bed.

learn how to drive

Yeah, I hope everyone here saying 'learn how to drive' or 'you deserved it' will never actually have to face a situation like this, maybe with a loved one or family member. Because, you know, sometimes accidents do just happen, maybe the car is broken, or there is something on the road which makes you lose the control, and than you will know what it feels like if people tell you 'you were probably drunk/texting/on the phone anyway'. I know a guy that died in a car accident, he was driving very slowly home one night, because it had been snowing, but there was a patch of ice on the side of the road; the car slipped and crashed. Afterwards a lot of ignorant twats like you guys would go to his mourning family members and say such things. If I was his family, I would have hit them in the face with a baseball bat. Don't judge if you don't know the complete story. End of rant, thank you very much.

Something like this happened to me and I got a ticket. I know I completely deserved it; it was raining and I was going too fast. The lack of details in OP's post makes me believe that they were at fault, and were just pissed that they got called out on it.

If I were you, I'd have better things to worry about rather than posting FMLs.
