Today, I found out my mother drives my car. I was okay with it; I don't use it all the time and she's my mother. However, I was not okay with the multiple speeding tickets that came through in the post. "You're the registered keeper, so why should I pay?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I was called a "whore," a "demon," a "piece of shit," and a "disrespectful bitch." All of this happened because I wouldn't let my mother-in-law borrow my car. This is a woman with multiple speeding tickets. FML
Today, I was pulled over for not having my car inspection up to date. I had my car inspected two weeks earlier. Since I'm at college my sticker was mailed to my home. My mother didn't want to pay the 42 cent postage, so now I have to pay $250 because my mother is cheap. FML
Today, my mom told me to follow her car closely to my aunt's house. I kept really close to her which caused me to get pulled over for tailgating. I explained everything to the cop so he went over to my mom to see if that was the truth. My mom said she didn't know me. I got a ticket. Thanks mom. FML
Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML
Today, after selling their car, my parents decided to inform me that my car (that I paid for myself) is now going to be the "Family Car". They also informed me that since it is, after all, my car, I'll still have to pay for the gas and maintenance. FML
Today, after a little detective work, I found out the money that recently went missing from my college fund was transferred by my mother, to her own account. She claims it's to pay a parking ticket. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I didn't know they fined people over $3,500 for a parking violation. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML
Today, I found out that my Mom had taken out a loan out on my car from the repo man taking my car away. FML
Today, my mom scolded me for not taking driving lessons already. This comes a few days after she told me that, "Allowing teenagers to drive is just another way of thinning out the gene pool". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I would speedily take the keys away from her and never allow her to drive again. You could lose your license from losing points.

Looks like it's time to start hiding your keys.

Report that your mother has been joyriding in your car without your permission and that you didn't know until you got the tickets. sure, she'll get in trouble but you won't be responsible. or at least tell her you're going to report her and have her legally held responsible and made to pay or that she can pay them and you won't report her. I'm sure she'd rather pay than be arrested. tough love but if she's an ADULT and doesn't understand that she should have to pay for the consequences of her own actions, no matter whose property she's using, she NEEDS a serious wake up call!

You do realise this would actually be classed as theft if you did that? That would require you to file a stolen vehicle report against your mother. And if you don't have any real evidence your mother was driving, where do you think this case will be going?

You do know that you could appeal the ticket and take it to court with the arguement that it was not you driving the vehicle.
Shade1982 21
That would require the mother to come in as well and if she denies the whole thing you have no case, unless you have hard evidence she was driving.

Wow what a ******* mooch. **** her. She loses her driving privileges if she won't pay the consequences of HER actions.

I am sure there is some way you can have your mum be responsible for paying off the tickets. Look into it
Shade1982 21
Well, the only way I know is tell on her to the police, but that will require both of you to come into court. And if she denies the whole thing and you have no evidence she was driving, you have no case. It will also probably ruin your relationship (even further, based on op's post) with your mother.

Make her pay for them and make her pay for your insurance since it will get really expensive

If you're in the UK you can ask for the photo evidence and tell them it was your deadbeat mother driving.

Ya it take that shit back if she's that dumb she shouldn't be driving to begin with

Take her to court. Then have them replace your ignition switch (fairly inexpensive) so that your car key will change and do not give her a copy or leave them out!
