Today, I was involved in a wreck. How quickly did the police arrive at the scene? Very quickly, considering he was the one who rear-ended me at a red light. FML

Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML

Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML

Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML

Today, I rear-ended a car. While we were waiting for the police, we made small talk, at which point I learned that he was an attorney. FML

Today, I was driving home when a guy crashes into me from behind. I get out of my car and tell him that I'm going to call the cops. He then asks me if we can move to a corner because we're blocking the way, so then get back in to move. I look in the mirror to see him driving off. FML

Today, I was feeling super nervous about driving because I had my first accident the day before. As I stopped at a red light, I got rear-ended. FML

Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML

Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended 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

I hope you were able to get as many witnesses to stay as you can (despite the fact that it's usually illegal to depart a scene after an accident, people do it anyway). There's no reason a cop should find him or herself to necessarily be completely honest about the situation since, of course, it would be their word(s) against yours - in which the cop almost always wins - unless otherwise provable in a court of law. I hope you have a good attorney, some solid witnesses, or the good fortune to have been hit by an honest cop, otherwise you're screwed.

You're not alone in your "annoyance." I have yet to have a good experience with cops, and I've dealt with them more than I should have. All the ones I've had to deal with are power hungry, self-absorbed dumbasses who never had the brain capacity to become anything else. MOST of them are absolutely useless. (I say most because I have hope that there are cops out there that aren't so corrupt and moronic.)

Cops are people too, they make mistakes. As long as he's not being an asshole about it, let it go. I don't see why this is a FML...? Accidents happen. It would be a FML if he blamed you for it and didn't take responsibility.

...And his cruiser cruised no more. :[ Turn the tables on him and ask him for his insurance. If he doesn't provide it, arrest him. Nah, the gubbermint will pay to get your car fixed. The fuzzies have insurance for situations like this.

Yes, cops annoy me too! Like the ones who become cops straight out of highschool, then go and party with their underage friends, but go bust some other kids the next weekend for drinking underage.

Wow, someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. Or should I say "Who got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning?" lol. Is your attention span really so small that you can't even read the next sentence?
