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

Petty officer
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 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
PulledOver
United States
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, 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

yeah, it turns out that even if it's dark out, you're still supposed to turn off your brights when you meet another car. driver's ed drop out? this is probably the same person that drives in the rain with no headlights on and wipers going mach 10. "Why do I need to turn on my lights? I can see where I'm going." YDI

Well, arguably, you're supposed to turn them down when you seen another driver. But if the police officer was behind you, then it wasn't necessary. I bet he was just trying to meet his quota. You should go to court and argue it.

So in other words, you got a ticket for being safe. I say fight it.

I just hate those assholes on the freeway in URBAN (AS IN WELL-LIT) AREAS with the REALLY REALLY bright lights that blind you through your rear-view mirror. Seriously, assholes, if everyone else can see just fine, why the **** do you need your obnoxious ******* brights?

One time I was driving on the freeway at night, there was a new car with new headlights. The headlights bother me a lot because it was too bright to see in front of me and I almost bumped into the car next to me because of that stupid new car. so I tried speeding or to get off the freeway. Luckily, that car got off first. Sometimes headlights can be TOO bright!

For everyone saying they don't know why cars have full-beam lights, it is for people who don't actually happen to live in a massive city where hardly ever leave. You put your lights on full when you're driving on the open road, and dip them if you are behind a car so they don't shine brightly onto their rear-vision mirror, or if you pass a car coming towards you. Its not illegal in New Zealand to have your lights on full in a built up area, but its a bit stupid if you clearly don't need them, street lights are bright enough!

Full beam lights are for when you are driving on the open road (as in, out in the country), and you should dip them if you pass a car coming towards you, or if you come up behind another car. Its not illegal in New Zealand to have them on full in a built up area, but its pretty stupid if there is plenty of street light, and ******* annoying and dangerous if there are other cars about!
