Today, I got a speeding ticket. I couldn't find my insurance card, and the cop was very nice. He said not to worry about it, that I "looked like someone who had insurance." I'm not sure how to take that. 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 driving without insurance. I gave the cop my insurance information, but he said it was invalid because it didn't show an expiration date. When I pointed out the information he was looking for, he ignored me and gave me a ticket anyway. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. After the cop asked for my license, he started laughing when he saw my picture. FML
Today, a police car hit my parked vehicle, likely due to icy road conditions. When the officer came over to talk to me, I assumed it was to give me his insurance information. Nope. It was to give me a ticket for "impeding a police officer." My car was in my driveway. FML
Today, I was pulled over for speeding. When the police officer approached me and asked for license and registration, I accidentally gave him my fake I.D. FML
Today, I got my first speeding ticket. Looking it over, I was surprised to see that the officer listed my height accurately despite never having seen me standing. I complimented his uncanny ability and asked if it was part of police training. He then informed me that he read it on my license. FML
Today, I got pulled over for going a few miles per hour over the speed limit. The cop asked for my license and registration. I happened to look down at my wallet while he was processing everything and saw my license in my wallet. I gave the cop my fake I.D. FML
Today, I had to explain to a cop that the reason I was speeding was because my girlfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. He was working the accident just ten minutes before and saw me leave behind the ambulance. He still gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. FML
Today, I crashed into a pole on purpose as a cop pulled me over for speeding. I figured the officer would feel bad for me and that the cost of fixing my car would be less than a ticket. He gave me one anyway. FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Either you look very sensible, or you come across as a total liability.

I wouldn't worry to much OP. It may mean you look classy!

Passive aggressiveness at its finest. Don't worry, OP: the cop might have said you look incapable of operating machinery more complex than a corkscrew (and that might be pushing it, frankly), but that applies to most of us!

To be brutally honest, that applies to almost no one.

I have no idea what this guy is talking about

The corkscrew is in my eye. It hurts a lot. Should I be concerned?

Excellent #33. Mission accomplished.

Not having proof of insurance is an additional ticket so. . .

Not really sure how this is an FML.... You got out of a ticket didn't you?!

Be happy you did not get another ticket for that. He probably meant that you look like a nice honest person.

Man. Lucky you. I got a speeding ticket earlier this year, and didn't have my insurance paper with me and got fined extra :( I never get breaks. But I kind of look like a hooligan, so..

He probably meant you looked like a responsible adult, are you so self conscious that that you'll take pretty much anything the wrong way if at all possible?

That's what I'm thinking. I didn't think it was a bad thing to look responsible..
jessBeAqueen 13
it means you don't look irresponsible and incapable of paying ins, like a crook that doesn't like to keep a trail or you just got off the boat with no papers....that's right I said it. you know you were all thinking it!

Hey orange is the new black right, be a rebel and cancel your insurance...
