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

no, you should actually never use brights in fog...

if it's a residential street, you're supposed to turn them down.

regardless #58... if the question is safety it was safer to have then on then off. solid and valid argument to fight it. I know I am a cop.

Highbeams. Uncool.

#62 Highbeams do not equal regular headlights which are all that should be needed on a residential street.

Erm, no. I can barely see down the road with regular lights. If an animal were sitting on the road, I would surely hit it. High-beams are made for a reason - to light up darker areas where regulars wouldn't be sufficient enough.

Highbeams are regular lights, the other ones are just dip lights. :D Sorry, living in the country, I just see it that way.

If you'd turned your brights down for the few seconds it would have taken for the oncoming police car to pass, you would have been golden. Police officers are drivers, too, and deserve not to be blinded by brights just as much as anyone else.

sure ydi. I guess you don't know what it's like driving at night and being nearly blinded by an oncoming car with brights on. it's ok to turn on your brights on dark roads, but turn it off as soon as you see another car coming to you. which you obviously didn't if you were pulled over for it.

either fake or exagerated

Since he said it was pitch black, I'm going to assume it was not a residential area, which means no streetlights. What if the police officer was on the side of the road with no lights on? FYL, man.
