Today, while driving home after the legal curfew, I narrowly avoided a police roadblock and backtracked a mile to drive home another way. I then ran out of gas a mile away from my house. FML

Today, after leaving work at 10 pm, I took a shortcut to the highway. After getting lost, my GPS informed me that the service was unavailable and I should try back in an hour. This occurred moments before I ran out of gas. FML

Today, I was driving to a gas station because I'd noticed I was almost on empty. Literally a block away from the gas station, my car broke down in the middle of an intersection, and I had to push my car to the side of the road, only to be questioned by police for "suspicious behavior." FML

Today, I drove 100 miles from my parents house to mine. I had only a few miles left when I realized I really had to pee. I didn't want to pull over somewhere when I was so close to home, so I sped up. A cop pulled me over a block from my house. I started to sob, and ended up peeing myself. FML

Today, my car broke down on my way home from university. I tried calling for help, only to realise my phone had completely run out of charge. Luckily, I had passed a police station so I decided to walk the 10 minutes down the road to ask for a phone. When I got there, the station was closed. FML

Today, some aggressive asshole was tailgating me on my way home, bumping into me twice. I got scared and kicked my car into high gear and got out of there. Seconds later, a traffic cop came out of nowhere and pulled me over for speeding. FML

Today, I had to drive down to my parents' house. On they way down, I needed to fill up on gas but unfortunately I'd forgotten my wallet at home with all of my cash and credit cards. I then had to call triple A and explain to them in all seriousness how I ran out of gas at the gas station. FML

Today, I called the cops to let them know that a drunk man was driving dangerously down my road. About an hour later, I was going to the store and got pulled over for speeding by the cop I called. FML

Today, I came back from a 700-mile round trip. I hit a massive pothole I couldn't avoid and blew out a tire and bent my rim. I was less than a mile from my house. FML

Just push the car home. When the officers stop you and ask what you are doing, tell them you tried to make it home before curfew but ran out of gas.

In Western Australia the first six months of us being able to drive by our selves we can't drive between 12am-5am, if we do I think our license is suspended for 6 months

Better to run out of gas then instead of when going to school or work later.

Legal curfew? Wow, I'm so glad Canada doesn't have such socialist perversions.

We do have a curfew though, we just have different rules. Where I live (New Brunswick), people with a class 7 level 1 license cannot drive from midnight to 5am, unless they have an excuse (such as work). But I think once you've got class 7 level 2, the curfew is gone (not entirely sure though).

I live in Canada and I have never even heard of such a thing. Except for house arrest. It is a stupid idea. As for running out of gas thats totally your fault. Have fun getting your car home :p

Yeah Manitoba has strange laws. I consider Manitoba a hick province. In BC for the first year you have your L you can't drive from midnight to 5 am. Once you get your N, at 17, you can drive whenever you want.
