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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after driving a few hours late at night I decided to entertain the car tailgating me by not letting him pass. After doing this for 3miles, reaching 93MPH, I decided to let the car pass me. When I switched lanes, the car tailgating me light up in red and blue. It was a cop. FML
Today, the car in front of me was going slow and I flashed my lights and honked. I floored it and passed the car, flipping off the driver. Just as I went around the next corner, I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. A few seconds later, the guy I flipped off drove by honked and waved. FML
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
Today, a stoplight turned yellow as I was approaching it. I was about to go through but saw a cop, panicked, and slammed on the brakes. I ended up in the middle of the intersection and had to reverse. Soon the light turned green, and I stepped on the gas. My car was still in reverse. FML
Today, some aggressive asshole was tailgating me on my way home, bumping into me twice. I got scared and kicked my car into high gear and got out of there. Seconds later, a traffic cop came out of nowhere and pulled me over for speeding. FML
Today, I pulled up to an intersection behind a car waiting to turn left and we missed a whole set of lights. As I was getting frustrated that they weren’t going when the light was green, I realised I was waiting behind a parked car. FML
Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. 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
Today, I pulled up next to my boyfriend at a stoplight. He was in the back of a police car. FML
Today, I pulled up to a red light. My ex was in the next car, and my car's windows are so tinted that you can't see through them, so I flipped him off. I was driving my mom's car. FML

Wow, always know what a cop car looks like! Not hard to see the lights on top even when they are OFF. I know exactly what cop headlights look like in my town. We have unmarked cars around here too, so I don't take the risk. THINK!!!

Good ******* God people. The car was probably an unmarked cop car with no lights on top and an internal CB radio antennae. Some of you posters are so god damn ******* stupid. And to #24, that's called fraud, I hope to God some day it bites you in the ass.

32, it's still possible to recognize an unmarked cop car. The key is to learn what they look like in your area. Or, you know, just follow traffic laws and then not have to worry about what the unmarked cars look like.

you are allowed to stop and then go at a read light. you treat it as a four way stop. it is legal.

Woo. Two tickets instead of just one. Way to go. as for 24..., Eh, actually 24 is right. You can call it 'fraud' all you want, but... truth is the other driver will still be liable simply because he wouldn't have hit you if he hadn't been tailgating. The only time you *aren't* liable... is when you're at a stop light and some idiot hits you from behind and pushes you into the next car. and in some states they'll STILL put you at fault for saying you were too close to the car ahead of you.

34, only at a flashing red light. The OP didn't say it was flashing.

37- Um, just because you don't agree with a law doesn't mean you get to bitch if you get in trouble for breaking it. Sure, red lights at night are annoying. But if you choose to run them, man up and accept the consequences of your actions.

33, where do you live? There are unmarked Intrepids, Impalas, Crown Vics, Chargers, Explorers, etc. Many of which you cannot tell unless if you see them regularly. Yes, if you cannot tell an unmarked Crown Vic, you're stupid. The others, not so much. I used to drive a dark-blue Intrepid, it sucked because people would always suspect I was an unmarked cop and slow down.

#24 that is the stupidest idea I've ever heard. What if the guy who rear ends you doesn't have insurance (or in my case, the guy does have insurance, just his insurance company refuses to call their client to get their word, so we have to take them to court to get them to pay)? Looks like you're going to be paying about $500 (assuming the cost to fix the damages are above such a price) to pay for the down payment since your insurance will treat it as uninsured motorist. Congratulations! You just spend $500 to piss someone off! Most elaborate prank ever.
