Today, while driving extremely fast on a road in the middle of nowhere, I started to go down a hill. Noticing a police car at the bottom, I slammed my brakes and blew a tire in the process. It turns out the police car was an old cutout used to trick people. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was speeding a little on the highway. I thought I saw a police car, so I slammed on my brakes, causing the person behind me to rear end me. The "police car" I saw was just a broken down car on the side of the road. FML
Today, I was driving a little over the speed limit, when I saw a cop car waiting to join the road ahead of me. I quickly hit the brakes so they wouldn't have a payday with me. I hit the brakes too hard, lost control and almost ended up on someone's lawn. FML
Today, I accidentally rear-ended an undercover police car. FML
Today, I crashed into a pole on purpose as a cop pulled me over for speeding. I figured the officer would feel bad for me and that the cost of fixing my car would be less than a ticket. He gave me one anyway. 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, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML
Today, while driving home, I saw a cop with a speed gun "hidden" by the side of the road. I went to slow down so the fuck-knob wouldn't be able to ticket me. I then had a brain-fart and floored the gas instead of hitting the brakes. Hello speeding ticket. FML
Today, while I was driving, there was a high speed car chase. The runaway managed to avoid my car but the police didn't. FML
Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML
Today, I was driving with my grandma and she was going 30 over the speed limit. To slow her down, I said, "Hey look, the police". She slammed on the brakes so hard I hit my head on the dashboard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Because slamming on your brakes would have helped anyways...

Well if you were following the law it wouldn't have happened.

You're an idiot. It's one thing to floor it on a straightaway in the middle of nowhere when you can see way in front of you, but you were doing it coming over a hill where you can't see who or what may have been on the other side. It'a selfish, reckless assholes like you that kill people on the roads.

And by tricking, you obviously mean trolling.

Patrolling.

That's perfect.

I was agitated because something was missing in the story and I felt that the OP got away too lightly. Now I know what it was, thanks fresh247.

But he has to replace his tire, so he still has to spend a lot. of money :'(

Sport cars are overrated anyways. SUVs are much better seeing as they offer privacy, gizmos, luxury, are easier to drive and has much more power - often 500bhp.

Yeah and soooo eco-friendly

Believe it or not, SUVs come in many varieties - including hybrid. Also, sport cars tend to have 2 seats and SUVs 5/7 so per passenger, the SUV produces less pollution. Also, SUVs cost similar amounts to a sport car. I'm talking Audi Q5, X1 or similar, not a Hummer H2.

I'm guessing you have never driven a real sports car, or much else besides a SUV. How many 500hp SUV gets better than 20mpg, better yet how about 15mpg? Just because it might have 5/7 seats doesn't mean there is more than 1 or 2 people in most of the time, which would make it about 1/2 as efficient.

The one I drive has 34mpg. Therefore, your argument is invalid, as good as it is.

500 bhp doesn't automatically make it faster. An SUV could easily be beat by a sports car with half the horse power.
A7XCamaro 19
It might get 34, but does it have 500hp?

YDI for driving like a reckless moron.

Have you ever seen fake cop models on the road?

More than likely the tires on the car were well beyond their prime, I have done this with bike tires before but not my car as I tend to replace those before the wires are showing.

A flat tire is cheaper than the ticket you should have gotten, and you get to keep your car insurance, that is, unless your insurance agent reads FML.

I was hoping for a joke...

It's also cheaper than the cost of someone's life

I like how everyone's pretending that driving over the speed limit is dangerous. If someone steps out in front of your car they're going to get killed whether you're going 50 or 100, so that's just dumb on their part. Honestly it's probably safer to go 100MPH (assuming you're used to driving that fast) than it is to go 60 and fall asleep at the wheel.

You're not a real bright one are you captainblack? High speed driving is all about reflexes and mental acuity. At 60K, you should, in most cases be able to avoid the pedestrian entirely. At 160,not do much. I hope for the sake of the residents of your town, that you do not drive.
love_me_electric 20
82 there is so much wrong with your comment I don't even know where to begin. I really hope you don't have a license because it's idiots like you who kill people with their vehicles.
CaptainBlack 18
What fictional universe are you guys living in where pedestrians randomly wander out onto roads with speed limits in excess of 30mph? Jesus, it's not like I go 100 in the middle of the city...

i'm finding it interesting how people aren't taking the time to do conversions......lololol
fleur_de_fevrier_fml 23
You so deserve it. You're clearly a reckless selfish moron to drive so fast downhill and for thinking that slamming the brake was gonna go unnoticed.
ropeandneck 7
well, it did. only the cardboard cutout noticed.
