Today, I got my paycheck. I was really excited since I've been broke for the last two weeks. On my way home, I got pulled over and got a ticket for expired tags. The $90 for new tags plus $135 for the citation will leave me with enough to buy a burger. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got called into work and I was really excited to earn some extra money. One block from getting there I get pulled over. Apparently my tags were expired, and there goes half a week's pay. FML
Today, I got a $200 bonus at work and was super excited about getting a plane ticket to see my family. On the way back from work I got a $300 speeding ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over by a cop and got slammed with a ticket for expired tabs on my motorcycle. The DMV was literally across the street. I was heading there to get new tabs. FML
Today, I felt really depressed so I decided to go to McDonald's, get a sundae and cheer myself up. I got pulled over by the cops on the way, and was given a ticket for an expired registration. McDonald's was closed. FML
Today, I finally got my paycheck from working at my minimum wage job for the last three months. I was delighted when I saw it was worth $846. On my way to cash it, I destroyed my car's suspension. It's going to cost almost $800 to fix. FML
Today, I went downtown to pay my speeding ticket. After standing in line and arguing with a rude woman behind the desk, I get back to my car only to find an expired meter and a parking ticket. I got a ticket while paying my ticket. FML
Today, after finding $50 on the sidewalk this morning and feeling like the luckiest person alive, I got a parking ticket for $60. 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
Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML
Today, I was pulled over and given a ticket for a broken tail light. On the way to the mechanic. To get my tail light fixed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe renew your tags on time like a responsible adult and this won't happen.

cos when you cant afford food you have the option of budgeting things...

If you can't afford food why would you be driving? Gas is expensive...

@166 not everyone lives within walking or travelling distance to their workplace or university. if i didnt drive id have to take 2 hours one way to my workplace last year. thats a total of 4 hours travelling time that most people dont have time for. dont even get me started on country residents or those in the outer suburbs who may end up travelling for several hours on public transport just to get to work. for those with families or study to do, 4+ hours is a lot of time to give up every day, assuming there actually is public transport nearby anyway.

You deserve it. You violate the law, you deserve to pay. My friend got pulled over and ticketed for the same thing and I told him he deserved it too.

@30 its the law in some countries that people cant engage in gay relationships. in some areas its illegal for people to swear. do they deserve to pay too? or is it moronic to assume that because something is a law it is therefore right and you DESERVE whatever you get for not following it?

what's up ur butt?
Iamnotfat 16
if u bring the documents to court showing that you've renewed ur tags the judge will likely strike down the ticket
FarSide 23
The judge could just as likely make you pay all the amount, PLUS court costs.

The judge could do whatever the f**k he wants...

Actually depending on the state, county circuit judges are elected so for a minor traffic offense especially if it was not a moving violation, judges in these states will frequently knock it down to about a $25 fine, because they want to keep their constituents happy.
dbt88 15
This, and court probably isn't for about a month anyway so you have the extra $135 for a bit longer.
qwacktastick 8
Yeah but OP paid the tags after getting pulled over, you can't go to court and be like "I paid AFTER they fined me"
NAU_future 7
Yes you can. The judge will still knock off a bit of the ticket if you prove you're registered again, because as most people, - well besides the ones on FML apparently - know that that is a retarded if not completely pointless law with no affect on the public.

well you were expired, what did you expect? the cop give you a burger and let you go on your merry little way. sorry you got caught, but that's life. you break the law, you get caught, you pay!

The fact that this is the second comment you've made on a second fml today where you can't spell "sense" right clearly shows that you were dropped on your head as a baby. Repeatedly. Please don't ever reproduce.

YDI, OP. License plate renewal notices are sent out a few months before your plates expire. You should have ordered them on time and put them on on time.

How much you want to bet OP did not pay her auto insurance too?
