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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. 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 got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket in the mail, at the same time as my car was getting towed. FML
Today, I learned that several thousand people in my state got tickets this month for driving and talking on the phone. My mom called to tell me this while I was driving. I'm now part of that statistic. Thanks, mom. FML
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. 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, I got a speeding ticket. My speedometer got busted a few weeks back, rendering it useless. My father, a former mechanic, decided it's not worth the trouble of going in and fixing it. "Just keep with traffic when you're on the highway; you'll be fine." This $150 fee says otherwise. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Next time make her sit in the back, just don't let her drive with you at all.

Next time, tell her you'll turn the car around and NO ONE will be getting ice cream :-) On a more serious note, in majority of traffic tickets if you take the time to actually go to court and plead no contest, they'll waive the ticket and have you pay just court costs.

Yeah or she should have to pay for the ticket!!

I agree with #1. If she wants to act, like a child treat her like one. Plus, what if she tugged the wheel too hard and got you guys in an accident? Smh.

I agree. I would just worry about Op's mom being a backseat driver. Those are horrible.

Agreed, let her sit in the back, "Driving Miss Daisy" style!

Next time she drives.. I suspect you'll do the same thing!

Why is this being thumbed up?! Tugging the wheel while someone is driving is a recipe for a death or 4 and a highly likely cause of them getting arrested.

You dont get ticketed for suspicious driving. You may be detained and have to do a BAC or field sobriety test, but suspicious driving isn't an offense you get cited for.

Your mom should really be paying that ticket..let her know that's not cool and maybe make her drive instead of you for a while at least.

Also known as "legal extortion".

but sometimes court costs are higher than the ticket.
mom_of_5 10
I guess that's a perk to living in a small town. Our court costs are typically $15-$20.

If it was me she'd be paying the ticket. Providing that's all that warranted the ticket
oakcrush 16
Go to court over it.

Mom up for serious talk. That what she did was dangerous for you both and for others on the road. Ticket well earned, just not for you.

This does suck, but of course you still have to pay it. If you were driving it was your responsibility. If your mother is creating a situation that is dangerous for others on the road then you should pull over until you can resolve the situation.

I am pretty sure the "I still had to pay it" was more a complaint about the fact that Mom created the problem, mom is old enough to know better, but mom did not pay the ticket. It wasn't a statement meaning the ticket wasn't earned just that the person who actually should have been paying it didn't pay for it.
