Today, a state trooper ticketed me after learning I was ticketed for the same offense an hour earlier, namely driving with a broken headlight. The good news is that both tickets will be dismissed if I go to court. The bad news is that I'd have to go to different courthouses at the same time of day. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. FML
Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML
Today, I was pulled over and given a ticket for a broken tail light. On the way to the mechanic. To get my tail light fixed. FML
Today, I got pulled over for violating hands-free law and not having an updated address on my driver's license. Two days ago, I got pulled over for the same reasons. Now, I have four tickets I need to deal with. FML
Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket while driving to my court date for a prior speeding ticket. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML
Today, the blinker on my car was broken so I decided to play it safe and drive a different car to work. I guess it wouldn’t have mattered which car I drove, as the cop nicely told me one of the headlights was out when he pulled me over. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe you should talk to the judges beforehand to clear up the dilemma.

Call the court house, if you explain that both court dates conflict, they can reschedule it

Pay the fine for one ticket and go to the courthouse for the other ticket and get that one dismissed.

I don't think you know how to use 'namely.'

Isn't there an amendment along the lines of "you can't be tried for the same crimes twice?"

I really don't understand why either one of them should be dismissed. Unless they were within minutes of each other, op could have replaced the headlight by the time the second cop checked it. I have a spare kit in my car at all times, and pretty much every one I know has one. Comes with the car as well, most of the times. That said, I don't understand at all why both of them would be dismissed if taken to court...

YDI. The first ticket would have gotten you out of the second offense if you had showed it to the second officer who pulled you over.

You must have misread. She said the officer ticketed her after he found out she was already ticketed. She did show him the first ticket. He gave her another one anyway.

What, so you get an hour to fix that? Sure does suck, still you did deserve one of the tickets so just get one of them dismissed

I initially read that as "storm trooper" and the FML became awesome for a moment.
