Today, I was driving without my seatbelt on, when I noticed a police car approaching. I panicked and desperately fumbled around for my seatbelt, only for them to pass by with just a funny look. Then it hit me that I was riding my motorcycle. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got in the car with some friends, only to realize none of them were wearing seat belts. They heckled me until I took mine off, then the driver slammed on the brakes and I hit the dash. They'd all known it was coming and braced themselves. FML
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 tried to put my seatbelt on. For some reason, it absolutely refused to click. I got frustrated, gave up, and just went on without it. I then got pulled over for not wearing it. I said to the officer, "Stupid question: can you TRY to put my seatbelt on?" He did. With no trouble. What did I do different? FML
Today, I was driving through my neighborhood when I heard a siren. I looked into my rear view mirror and saw a motorcycle, so I pulled over. The motorcycle drove by, and it turned out to be an old lady with a leather jacket. The siren was in a song on the radio. FML
Today, I accidentally rear-ended an undercover police car. FML
Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. 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, 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
Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML
Today, as I was riding my bike, I saw a bunch of cute guys checking me out. Not paying attention, I then ran into a parked police car. Besides getting laughed at, I got a ticket for damaging police property. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You get REALLY nervous around police.

Lucky you didn't get pulled over, stepping out of the car could have been awkward.

Maybe He wasn't appropriately confident in his driving skills from the beginning or he just lets fear get the best of him when it comes to an authority. Remind me of the milgram's obedience experiments..

Wouldnt he fall out of the car???
HKCgrimmjow 15
I don't know about you guys but whenever I see a cop looking in my general direction I always feel like I'm committing a crime... Do others get this?..
cameron194 9
HKC, I know exactly what you mean.. Whenever a cops around I get all nervous like I've done something wrong even when I haven't.. It's just figures of authority that get me.. Their always looking for some reason to slap the cuffs on you or wright you a ticket.. Any detail that you might have accidentally over looked .. :@ even when you're the one who calls them, they still **** you over sometimes..
iCake 13
140, i get the same feeling, i think its normal
samikitty961 8
Probably the same way people don't notice that they're wearing their glasses when they're trying to find them...
flea_of_death 23
140- I don't get that feeling most of the time because I know I haven't done something wrong. But when I do mess up, like accidentally running a red light, then a cop makes me nervous for a while =P
DogsPaw 16
I get that feeling when a Cop looks at me and when I go through those detector things at stores, I feel like they are going to go off on me.

When I see cops, its usually with a 'Douchebag cop what's he doing going 90 on the highway? Not fair!'
konstantinos616 17
Not really, although that's because my dad is one and I got guys stopping by my house all the time. One of them is my trainer too, so I don't have much to worry about when I'm in my state
hutch66 13
I get that feeling when I'm going through the scanners at an airport. I just feel so guilty even though there's nothing to feel guilty about.

The cop was thinking "crazy kids"
Inheritance 10
Why assume that OP is a 'child'? My opinion if I had a kid I wouldn't let him drive a motorcycle till he moved out. But that's just me. Shouldn't make quick assumptions.
LightningCactus 12
You have to be kidding me, 27.

Either that or, "What an odd duck."

Hey I have a mother who has ,add threats to disown me if I ever get a motorcycle when I'm out on my own. She is obviously exaggerating, but she seriously hates them that much due to their danger that she has put in her own head. They are dangerous, but so is driving.
vocaloidtiger 12
95 - Driving is dangerous. But motorcycles are FAR worse than cars. Not only do cars HAVE SEAT BELTS, but you are actually in an enclosed space, rather than out in the open with no bodily protection but the clothes on your skin. The driver's seat can In card is also specifically designed to stay fairly intact when in a crash. Now tell me again about how driving a motorcycle is just as dangerous as driving in general.
vocaloidtiger 12
Sorry, I meant "the driver's seat in cars". "The drivers seat can In card"? Really, autocorrect?
scarperwins 1
126 - I think you misunderstood the comment...but thanks for pointing out the obvious, we had no idea that motorcycles didn't have seatbelts and that they weren't enclosed...wow, crazy world man...
sens3sfailing 25
I agree with you. I never said they were just as dangerous, I know they aren't by any means. I was just stating my mom has a over the top fear of motorcycles, as if they cause death by touch. I have no plans of ever riding a motor cycle because o don't see the appeal. The danger is just more cushion to that choice. I honestly was just trying to appear the motorcycle lovers out there that I don't call them death traps. I didn't mean to insinuate that I thought driving a car and motorcycle were just as dangerous as the other. I'm not an idiot.
CharresBarkrey 16
Motorcycles are referred to as "donor cycles," here in the medical field. Just make sure that if you do make that choice, be smart about it.
RobManB 4
It's not what you're driving that one needs to worry about. It's the other drivers
mbuck87 19
Unless you're the shit driver. Then you should be worried
kozzard 17
I never saw the point of riding motorcycles...why wrap your body around a large machine when you can wrap a large machine around it?
howdeedoo 22
Are you stupid?
CallMeMcFeelii 14
He is pretty damn stupid, not for the fml he posted, but for riding a motorcycle in the middle of a Canadian winter.
nictransitglory 4
Yeah OP is either down right retarded, or most likely spamming random FMLs to see if anything gets published.
middlecyclone 5
You do realise that not ALL of Canada is covered in snow and freezing cold right?
MistressCaitlyn 7
At this time of year, I think it's safe to say it is. My family is spread out all across Canada, and every one of us has at least a couple inches of snow right now.
Sinkhole 26
I hope you people realize that this FML was translated from the French version of FML. So, just because it was published today here, it doesn't mean it was submitted today.
MarisaCB 16
That's a bit unfair, don't you think? Haven't you ever looked for your fork when its in your hand? Or looked for your phone during a phone call? It's just a brain slip, though a major one.
middlecyclone 5
Well, I'm in BC, it's above freezing, an we don't have snow. So I guess it's really not safe to make that assumption. Thanks for trying though.
mcinnesandrew 6
I'm in BC and we have about a foot and a half....
middlecyclone 5
Not saying the entire province has no snow, just that where I am doesn't.
lexxiii 17
If you typically drive a car without a seatbelt, you might want to think otherwise. A seatbelt saved my life when my car did a 360. Either way, I don't see how this is an FML at all.
daniel_dd31 13
You get REALLY nervous around police.
octopussperm125 18
Who doesnt, sirens make me run for my life and i may not have even been doing anything
buck33 14
Reminds me of duck dynasty. "As soon as I see flashing lights coming towards me, I'm out of there." or something along those lines.
oj101 33
He's probably McLovin who bought alcohol underage and desperately tried to get away from the police officer by joyriding. *superbad reference*
fishstick557 14
what you just see that movie or something? that joke was as stupid as OP
iRaTTaZZi 11
maybe he was holding something??? or he's black :P
katydid95 5
How do you forget you're riding motorcycle?
justin528 4
My thoughts exactly
speckledots 29
He didn't have his morning coffee. ***** me up every time.
toalysium 15
You don't, it's impossible. OP is either a moron or full of bs.
SmileySurfer22 5
Wouldn't you notice the lack of a seat immediately?
lilhellian 27
If he isn't sitting on a seat, what is he sitting on then?
SmileySurfer22 5
I meant the part that supports your back. Motorcycles don't have a back and to get the seatbelt you would probably feel the back of the seat in a car.
Lioness8197 18
Motorcycles have seats...
howdeedoo 22
And why didn't OP notice the lack of windshield, doors, and steering wheel? Those are more noticeable than a seat belt
Lioness8197 18
Ignore my comment. Yours didn't pop up until after I sent mine.
SmileySurfer22 5
I'm not saying those things aren't noticable, but he obviously ignored those things in the first place. When he's feeling around, his attention would immediately be turned to the fact that there is nothing to feel and he would notice that first.
lilhellian 27
Some motorcycle seats do have a back...
SmileySurfer22 5
Yes, but they are much smaller than those on actual cars. The one my dad has only goes up halfway where the ones in cars go much farther up.
SmileySurfer22 5
I'm sorry but I don't really have a working knowledge of motorcycles. I don't know how many have seats like the ones found in cars so if OP owns one, my comment is completely invalidated. Whoops
lilhellian 27
I've seen full backs... Watch some of the motorcycle shows you will see one or two eventually..
spekledworf 18
Sissy bars.
evilplatypus 39
Sh*t, some of the motorcycle seats I've seen on custom bikes may as well be La-z-boy recliners. They're cushy and envelope you on both sides. I'd fall asleep riding that thing.
friedpwnadge 25
Be glad you didn't get a ticket for distracted driving.

I love how there are no votes or this FML. I mean is it an fyl or ydi. Who knows.
