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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, I accidentally edged over the speed limit and got pulled over. The officer asked me if I knew why he'd pulled me over. Before I could say something diplomatic, my dad said from the passenger seat, "Because you're a prick in fancy dress?" I got ticketed. FML
Today, my cousin told me that the stop signs outlined with a white line were optional. Later, a cop pulled me over, when I asked why he said, "You ran that stop sign back there." I explained what my cousin had told me and he looked at me funny and replied, "All stop signs have a white outline." FML
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
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
Today, a police officer gave me a ticket for smoking. He told me that my parents would have to be contacted to come pick me up. My drunk dad came to the rescue, and almost hit the police car. Way to go dad. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML
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 learning to drive a stick when a cop decided to pull me over just to laugh at me. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML

You should read the Driver's ED manual again.

Trolling someone you're teaching to drive about the rules of the road seems just as intelligent.

"Thanks dad"...you're an idiot. You definitely deserve to pay it. YDI

Your dad taught you a valuable lesson, don't trust anyone, even your dad, when someone says as stupid as that.

Your dad is right. He was just making a joke, my mom and I joke about how many 'points' a person or object is if I were to hit it and she's done the same stop sign joke but its obvious joking.

Wow, you are an idiot

Umm.. Wouldn't you know that it's not "optional". It's common sense.. Maybe you shouldn't be driving.

And how did you get your permit?

That's a pretty stupid move.

He should have at least paid half of it, she is just learning to drive. Are you going to blame a kid for saying that 2+2=5 when the teacher told him or her that is correct even though the text book says it equals 4? Her dad is a horrible person who doesn't know when to make joke. Also, she is a teenager, common sense rarely applies at that age.

Yeah the only difference is math can't run people over and kill them. Rules of the road are available for free OP should have read them front to back multiple times and known a basic rule like that by heart. The fact that he was stupid enough to fall for it proves she's not ready to be driving. What happens when her friends tell her dumb shit is she gunna fall for that too

Are you kidding? Comparing a math problem and common sense English of the word stop doesn't compare lmao

88: If common sense doesn't apply at that age then maybe OP shouldn't be driving at all. I didn't lack common sense when I was a young teenager, and I'm sure most people in general had common sense at that age. If the OP doesn't have common sense, they will be a very dangerous driver.

How long have you people been driving? Not long I would say, because you would know the majority of teen drivers SUCK at being behind the wheel. Since you must be new drivers, I am sure you remember that learning to drive was a fairly stressful time. Common sense is hard to come by under stress. So someone has to have faith in their dad to tell them the right thing. Plus, it was not a comparison to math, it was an analogy, retard...

You ARE that stupid for believing that.
