Today, my friend and I were driving to Florida from Michigan. While going through Ohio my car hydroplaned over a puddle on the highway. I ended up hitting the median and my car got wrecked. Not only am I stuck in Ohio with a car that won't work, I got a ticket for $300 for hitting Ohio property. FML

Today, I lost control of my vehicle while driving. The car went off the road, rolled over, and ended up being totaled. The policeman asked me if I was alright and I said I was. He seemed relieved at my answer. Then he handed me a $300 ticket for failing to maintain my lane. FML

Today, I found out where my stolen car was. It was all the way in Maine. I live in Ohio and I got a $300 fine for illegal parking. FML

Bad time for insurance denials

Today, my car broke down dead in the middle of the highway. As I was unable to get it out of the road, it was impounded, and my insurance won't help. Now I'm further in debt and struggling to get to work. FML

Today, it was nice out, so I drove with my car windows down. I was stopped trying to turn onto a busy highway, when a car turned off the highway right next to me, hit a pothole, and splashed dirty water into my window and into my open mouth. FML

Today, it was raining heavily. I saw a large puddle by the edge of the road near with a passing lady. Thinking it would be funny to splash her, I swerved to hit the puddle. The puddle was deeper than I thought. I lost control of the car, spun out, and hit two parked cars. FML

Slippery

By Estranged Fiance - 26/12/2016 05:49 - United States

Today, my fiancé got impatient and passed a lady doing 15 mph under the speed limit. The lady was driving slowly in case the black ice in the other lane was in both. We spun out and drove right into a guard rail. I'd just filled the tank, so now I'm down $40 and need to pay for a rental too. FML

Bad timing

Today, as I was talking to my girlfriend about how I need to find another job to be able to afford school next fall, I hit a deer causing about $3,000 in damages to my car. FML

Today, I hit a patch of black ice and totaled my car. The car is a month old. For the next 5 years I'll be paying for a car I can't drive. FML

I had a similar thing happen, hydroplaned while driving out of state, but my ticket wasn't as much and was for "going too fast for the conditions." The cop arrived after the accident and never even asked me what my speed was, he just assumed based on how I described the accident. I was going with the flow of traffic, it was nighttime and drizzling. First accident, first ticket, and my car was totaled. BTW, to all of you people saying YDI, you can hydroplane even at 45 MPH, which is not always a safe speed for a major highway, even with weather conditions.

haha i'm from ohio and i hid a median on the 480 and didn't get a ticket. granted it was in the middle of rush hour and i was off the road and they didn't give me a ticket granted they wouldn't let me call AAA and i ended up having to pay $150 for a tow. thank god my truck was all steel so the damage wasn't too bad.

#1 lmao I'm originally from Ohio so I feel your pain. Any time I go back home I make sure it's a quick trip. But let me tell you for anyone who drives to Ohio for the love of God drive the speed limit. Ohio highway police are straight assholes who have too much time on their hands. They're worst that the LAPD.

#67 - If you hydroplane, there are several factors, of which speed is one of them. The type and state of your tires is a major one, and it's your responsibility to maintain them. If you're hydroplaning at 45mph, then 45mph is too fast for conditions, plain and simple. Stay to the right, go slow enough to avoid hydroplaning, and you're not going too slow - the morons passing you are going too fast. Not your problem.

As others have said...Learn to drive. Also, I've lived in Ohio my whole life and I've never heard of anyone getting ticketed for "Hitting Ohio property". Also, Ohio may not be the best place to be stuck in, but it sure as hell is better than Michigan.
