Today, after driving a few hours late at night I decided to entertain the car tailgating me by not letting him pass. After doing this for 3miles, reaching 93MPH, I decided to let the car pass me. When I switched lanes, the car tailgating me light up in red and blue. It was a cop. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML
Today, I was tailgated on the highway. There was a car in the lane next to me, and my tailgater was WAY too close to risk slowing down, so I sped up in order to switch lanes, which bumped me over the speed limit. That's when my tailgater turned on the flashing lights. FML
Today, I pulled up to the stoplight near my house. It was dark with no traffic and the car behind me kept edging closer and closer to me. I finally got fed up with waiting and the car and ran it. In fact, it was a cop and he was trying to read my license plate because the back light was out. 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, the car in front of me was going slow and I flashed my lights and honked. I floored it and passed the car, flipping off the driver. Just as I went around the next corner, I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. A few seconds later, the guy I flipped off drove by honked and waved. FML
Today, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. 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 driving home, some idiot kept tailgating me, so I slowed down, hoping he'd overtake me. He didn't, so I pulled to the side of the road. He did the same, in front of me. He kept toying with me until I crashed into another car trying to speed away from him. 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
Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

I slow down for tailgaters. Wouldn't change if it were a cop. It's one of those moments where you just pray a deer would jump in front of you so that you could slam on your breaks and the moron would crash right into you for following too close.

cops are trained for high speed and high stress driving, that means they are more skilled than you, no matter how much you street race at night....tailgating under 100mph is like parallel parking to them, they are aware of all the surroundings including what is going on in front of you, so if a deer would have run out, the cop would most likely brake before you, they are not worried you would slam on your brakes on them (on purpose) because you would most certainly get fined for destroying government owned property so stop ranting about cops

cops aren't superhuman. they make take driving courses but that doesn't change the fact I got backed into (I was parked) by one last month.

You realize that you shouldn't have cared right? If he tailgates, whatever. It's his problem if he runs into you. Then YOU get paid.

Yeah, it doesn't really matter what the cop was doing - you thought it would be fun to be an asshole on the road. Therefore, YDI (and whatever else is coming to you) for being an obnoxious prick. If only all the pricks of the world got theirs with such poetic justice. *dreamy sigh*

Lucky you don't live here. Going 90+MPH is considered "intent to kill" and is an automatic 24hrs. in jail. A ticket would've been your last concern.

The car "lit" up in red and blue. Learn how to write.

How could you not tell it was a cop? And why the heck were you going 93 mph?

A few things: Are you all really unfamiliar with roads that are usually 1 lane each direction with passing zones? He just speeds up in the passing zone so the car can't get around. And when it becomes a 2 lane in his direction, he decides to allow the car to pass and moves over. Nextly, for doing 93mph: Roads like US75 have spots that are 70mph with no towns or anything for 50 miles. You are supposed to stay with traffic, and often traffic goes in excess of 100 miles per hour (160KPH), and if you are going slower than that, YOU ARE HOLDING PEOPLE UP. Deal with it. Speeding is legal in groups. Look it up. In Georgia, if you are maintaining the speed limit but that holds other cars up because everyone else is speeding, you can be ticketed for driving too slowly. No, really. Speed limits being decreased raises the number of accidents. Look up the statistics. People think "oh, I'm going slower, I'm less likely to crash," they stop paying attention, and boom. Just statistics.
