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

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

I'm viewing this as a compliment. You don't look sketchy I guess.

Cops know these days whether you have insurance or not before they step out of the patrol car... I am sure he would have been tougher if you didn't have any.

How is this an FML?

Was wondering this myself... Unless OP is worried about his street cred not shinning enough...

What exactly is it that you are complaining about? If he had dragged you out of your car and beat you like Rodney King you might have an actual FML, but getting off with just a speeding ticket is not really worth a post. Just saying...

I am a police officer my state the insurance company has to report insurance to the dmv so when I pull you over and run your license plate it will tell me if your plates are current and if your insurance is up to date and if vehicle is stolen.

Take it as a compliment, it means you look responsible.

I don't really think that's an FML! I'm pretty sure he meant you looked classy or nice. I wouldn't take it the wrong way, OP

Generally people don't have car insurance because they're unable to afford it. He's essentially saying you look like someone who makes enough to live comfortably and would have a decent driving record. Take it as a compliment.
