Today, I was given a ticket for running a red light. The reason? I was moving out of the way of an ambulance. The police officer watched it go by. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML
Today, I had to explain to a cop that the reason I was speeding was because my girlfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. He was working the accident just ten minutes before and saw me leave behind the ambulance. He still gave me a ticket. 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 got a red light camera ticket for $100 in the mail. After checking the date and time, I realized it was from when I was rear ended into the intersection while STOPPED at a red light. 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 received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. 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 went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, I was at a stop light when I saw a cute police officer at the light across the intersection. Trying to be cute as I drove by, I turned and winked and waved. The car in front of me stopped, I rear-ended them, and then I got rear-ended. The cute cop winked back, then wrote me a ticket. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Not all streets and traffic are affixed the same way. It all depends. sometimes the ambulance driver cannot rely on using an alternate opposite lane because a lot of folks think that its ok to keep driving causing a hinder in pathway escape for the ambulance driver...therefore i find it justifiable to run a red light just to pull aside to let the ambulance go through. and the cop was a complete moron

Don't you know just to stop until it is your turn to move again? Let the ambulance get around you. Of course then you would be ticketed for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle or some nonsense. I suggest you stop driving entirely as the number of traffic crimes decreases when you're a pedestrian.

YDI Definitely. It's a basic question in drivers ED. You do not have the right to break traffic rules, only emergency vehicles do. You are supposed to stop, you're not allowed to cross into oncoming traffic to let him through, run lights, go up on the sidewalk and knock over a taco stand.... you're not an emergency vehicle numbnuts. All these people saying the cop was an idiot, what were you sleeping in drivers ed? Most people know you can't run a red for an ambulance whey they're 15 years old. You could have killed somebody.

If the lights were working as they should, no traffic should have been passing on that road anyway. If it were a narrow road or other cars were in the way, it's possible that the OP really did HAVE to move so that the ambulance could get where it's going. Still technically "illegal," maybe, but if that were the case then the officer should have let it slide.
