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.

Listen, folks! A curfew is nothing but a limitation of your freedom. That's what communist countries did to keep people from knowing about the outside world, and to keep people locked up. Just look at North Korea. They are a tragic example over how this works. They are forced into believing that their leader is divine, they believe that being locked up will save them from the outside world, when they really need saving from North Korea. They are brainwashed! So those of you that think a legal curfew is a good thing are brainwashed. Oh, America, Land of the ignorant!

north korea isnt communist, its a totalitarian state, just like hitler said he was a socialist he was a dictator. a common misconception of communism, it is actually called marxism and it would work if power didnt corrupt people

You have.. a legal curfew? Wait, I thought America was supposed to be "free"? A legal curfew, seriously? Woah... that's pretty totalitarian if you ask me. FYL for having a ******* curfew, I can't blame you for ignoring it.

lol the commenters are freaking out about curfews being too "totalitarian" and denying people their freedom... Curfews are just for kids, not adults. If you're under 18 you can't drive after 11 pm on weeknights and midnight on weekends.

For everyone that is talking about the curfew, i am form Georgia just like OP, and no the rules about the curfew. as somebody else stated, there is first a curfew for the first few months of your drivers license, and secondly there is a state issued curfew for minors (under the age of 18). the curfew is in effect from 11:00 o clock on weeknights, and midnights on weekends, but is very very lenient in about 99.9% of the state when it comes to actually being enforced, that is unless you are doing something else illegal, so OP, YDI. second, if OP went 1 mile out of their way, and ran out of gas 1 mile from home, were they planning on running out of gas in their driveway or something?!?
