Today, I drove to my cousin's house so he could help me fix my broken tail light. On the way there, I got pulled over for having a broken tail light. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 driving home from work when I was pulled over by a cop. She asked why I was being pulled over and figuring she knew I said, "For swerving because of my alcohol problem." I had a broken tail light. FML
Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML
Today, I received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. FML
Today, the blinker on my car was broken so I decided to play it safe and drive a different car to work. I guess it wouldn’t have mattered which car I drove, as the cop nicely told me one of the headlights was out when he pulled me over. FML
Today, after parking my car, I was informed by an incredibly hot girl that my tail light was faulty. I tried hitting it to make it work again. Guess who has 5 stitches and a smashed tail light? 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, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML
Today, my dad was helping my fiancé and me move. On the way, someone sideswiped the trailer. When the police came, we found my dad had a suspended license, no insurance, and a broken tail light. No one else could drive a manual, so we were stuck in a parking lot for 3 hours. Thanks, dad. FML
Today, I had the lovely experience of witnessing a tow truck cause a couple thousand dollars' worth of damage to my broken-down car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you got anything, it should have been a fix-it ticket. Repair it and show the local police, they sign off on it and everything's ok. No fine. No points.

You should have told him so, they usually believe me in such cases. #perksoflivinginIndia

I have boobs. Cops don't like checking them out though.

This is the dumbest advise I've read all day. If OP's friend drove him they still would've gotten pulled over? And if they drove another car then how would his car get there to be fixed..?

What #2 was trying to say was have the cousin drive to where OP lives to help OP fix the tail light. No need to drive the defective vehicle this way therefore no ticket. Of course the cousin might not drive or have a car...

Would've been a better outcome if he came to you

Maybe OP's cousin had tools or a shop in their garage and it would be too hard to transport it all.

I wish. tail lights on some vehicles like my mothers SUV require removing parts of the bumper and the internal plastic panels to repair the damn tail light.

Did you explain it to the officer, they'll usually just let you go if you're on your way to fix it, but then again, you might have gotten a dick cop to pull you over.

That sucks. I once got pulled over because a cop nearly hit me.

I was pulled over once for going 37 mph is a 40 mph zone because it was "suspicious".

I got pulled over once not even two minutes after leaving my house for "speeding." Turns out, they didn't see the speed limit changed but I still got a warning.

My brother got pulled over once for having a cracked windshield. They let him off with a warning and said he needed to replace it within 5 days. 3 months later and he didn't replace it, or even get ticketed.
