Today, I got a speeding ticket. My speedometer got busted a few weeks back, rendering it useless. My father, a former mechanic, decided it's not worth the trouble of going in and fixing it. "Just keep with traffic when you're on the highway; you'll be fine." This $150 fee says otherwise. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. 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 bought a car off my aunt, then I got 7 speeding tickets. Apparently my aunt forgot to tell me the speedometer is faulty, so while I thought I was doing a safe 28 or 29 mph in the 30 zone on my way to work, I was probably doing closer to 35 or 36. 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 was pulled over and was given a $300 ticket for going 90mph on a 70mph highway. The cop swore he saw my silver car darting in and out of traffic. A couple of minutes earlier that exact car had passed me while I was following the speed limit. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket while driving to my court date for a prior speeding 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, after giving my husband a ton of crap about the speeding ticket he got last year, I got a 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, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML

YDI for not getting it fixed, regardless what your father said.

What if you're the only car on the street, on a school zone?

When someone doesn't listen to their parents everyone's like "YDI Listen to your parents! They're there for a reason!" Then when someone does and they mess up they're like "YDI You should've handled it yourself!" I mean seriously people? o.o

Common sense should've told you that a speedometer is kinda necessary.

At least we know why your dad is a *former* mechanic. My dad is a current mechanic, going on 35 years now, and he would have advised to immediately fix that.

What, are you ten? Get it fixed yourself, or find another means. The speedo in my work van is off, so I use my gps for speed. The speedo in my truck is off due to much over sized tires... so I use common sense. If you lack money AND common sense /wrist... don't contaminate the gene pool any further.
