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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Word, don't be ******* dumb, who cares how fast you were going, as long as you're careful about it. I think speed limits can be extremely ridiculous. I'm completely in control of the car at 70-80 mph so telling me that I have to do 55 on a ******* highway is like pulling teeth. However, if you drive like an asshole like the OP, you would deserve getting in trouble with the cops. Work on your cop-radar dude, learn where they patrol and stop to hide.

#12 that's hilarious... But I'll pass cops any day going up to 10 over. I've never gotten a ticket for less than 15 over and don't expect I ever will.

@ yay for cannibalism: I've heard of cops doing that too. One of my friends ended up behind a cop going 10 under the limit and no one else was passing him. My friend passed going the exact speed limit and got pulled over. Apparently, the cop was just running some sort of asshole social experiement because he didn't even try to write a ticket. He just made the stop because he wanted to ask what went though people's heads when they passed cops on the road. Somehow I have a feeling he could have found something better to do with his time... his salary is paid for by taxpayers and he spent his day harassing law abiding citizens. Wow.

haha 12, that happens over here all the time, all it takes is that one guy with balls to pass him, and then the whole group does, otherwise, your stuck behind a bunch of people scared to go the speed limit cuz a cop ain't.

Oi, I hate when that happens. Cops like to tail-gate and state troopers are the worst. I was driving home last night and had one riding up my ass but couldn't change lanes because some asshole was riding in my blind spot. When I finally got over and the trooper flew by me at about 85MPH. It took me a while to realize there was a trooper behind me too.

ok; well. where I am from, it is illegal for cops to do that, and then pull you over. Basically it is 'inticing', so if you get pulled over and ticketed, you can fight the ticket, and win. Its hard to deny the tailgating when they pull the film from the dashboard cameras.

Also, I'm curious to know what the speed limit was. YDI for speeding. FYL for getting pulled over by a trooper. Also, the OP said he/she was driving late at night. It's hard to see the lights on a cops car late at night when they're behind you unless they're on. Though usually you can kind of tell by the kind of car it is and the headlights. :/
