Today, I learned that several thousand people in my state got tickets this month for driving and talking on the phone. My mom called to tell me this while I was driving. I'm now part of that statistic. Thanks, mom. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. 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 when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. 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 got a ticket for "suspicious driving" because my total shit of a mother kept tugging on the wheel to annoy me, and I still had to pay it. FML

Today, I was at work when my mother texted me, "You take a nice picture." I replied, "What picture?" I then got a reply saying, "The one on your speeding ticket showing you going 73 in a 55 mph zone. You're even smiling." FML
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML

Your mother didn't make you pick up the phone whilst you were driving though. YDI.

Well you had the choice to pick up the phone or not pick up the phone. Apparently you made the wrong choice. :)

Phone makes a noise (incoming call or text) you pull over and deal with it, or ignore it until you can... Not rocket science.

I agree with everyone else. Your fault for picking up your phone, not your moms.

"Thanks, mom." Really? I wish I could press YDI a million times, just for that. You are the one that answered the phone, making yourself part of that statistic. It is your fault and only your fault.
