Today, my mom told me to follow her car closely to my aunt's house. I kept really close to her which caused me to get pulled over for tailgating. I explained everything to the cop so he went over to my mom to see if that was the truth. My mom said she didn't know me. I got a ticket. Thanks mom. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, I got a ticket for "suspicious driving" because my total shit of a mother kept tugging on the wheel to annoy me, and I still had to pay it. FML
Today, I was riding in the backseat while my mom was driving. Noticing she was driving way over the speed limit, I opened a police siren app on my iPod to make her slow down. When she realized, she pulled over, kicked me out of the car and made me walk home. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML
Today, my dad was teaching me how to drive. He told me that stop signs with white outlines are "optional." I ran through the next one I saw and got pulled over by a cop. My dad is making me pay the ticket for being "that stupid." Thanks dad. FML
Today, I noticed a car following me all the way to my house. It was dark so I got really nervous and called the police. The person got out of the car. It was my mom. FML
Today, I learned that several thousand people in my state got tickets this month for driving and talking on the phone. My mom called to tell me this while I was driving. I'm now part of that statistic. Thanks, mom. 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

So wait... the cop pulled YOU over, and your mom pulled over as well and sat there waiting for the cop to finish talking to you even though SHE wasn't in trouble, and then claimed to not know you even though he presumably explained the situation to her? Doesn't make much sense to me...

that is awful!!! I can't believe your mother would do that to you, that is one of the bitchiest moves ever. I def think she should pay your ticket or talk to the police and get it completely gone. That is bull sh**.

you deserve it for tailgating your mom. following her somewhere doesnt mean you have to be so close to her car it gets you pulled over idiot

She's your mother, so simply ignoring her completely for a while should let her know what a ******* weak thing to do that was. Even better, the next time she asks a favor of you, especially over the phone, say "I don't know you" and hang up on her.

This is why I come to fml, to see the collective gatherings of the worst of society. And this one did not disappoint.

What a great mom. Hopefully she's expecting a big beautiful box full of nothing for her birthday. If not, she should be. =)

I guess I could imagine the person being tailgated pulling over to make sure the person tailgating them got what they deserved from the cop? That's the only reason I can imagine why a person who was being tailgated by a stranger would pull over if the cop pulled over said stranger. It doesn't make sense, though, especially if your mom is paying for your insurance. Of course in reality she probably stopped so you could continue following her. And I've been following people a number of times and had vehicles get between us, sometimes several after I move to a reasonable distance from the new ones in front of me, even when I'm driving closer than I'm comfortable. I can see how tailgating might be necessary, depending on your definition of the term.
