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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I hate cops that tailgate. They just try to make you speed so they can give you a ticket. They do it all the time on my campus because the limit is only 20mph.

#13, I know exactly what you're talking about. Something goes off that makes me suspect cops are around. They're always around near the end of the month.

You definitely deserved that one.

Note: If you're going to screw with road-raging assholes, make sure you can see the car you're screwing with.

Owned. There's a possibility that any car can be an unmarked patrol car, it's really hard to tell sometimes. Here, the sheriff's office drives ford cv's, trucks, taurus, minivans, mustangs, mercury marauders, dodge intrepids, chargers, challengers, tahoes, old buick sedans! If someone's tailgating me then I either move over, or keep going the same speed and doing my thing depending on what amount of travel lanes there are..They can always pass around me when the time comes if they feel the need to..cops pretty much drive everything now and often in different colors with no markings on them :/

^ Yeah, you've got to look for a side view mirror flood light or extra antenna... something like that. Cops can be sneaky.

I take a lot of road trips, and I drive primarily at night...if someone did this to me I would NOT be entertained!

You're a dick and deserved it. If someone's tailgating you, change lanes. Pissing someone off because they pissed you off doesn't work too well on the road, idiot.
