Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML
Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, I was driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front of me swerving across 3 lanes of traffic. Thinking he might be drunk, I dialed 911 on my phone, but I dropped it. I fished under my seat to get it, swerving, and got pulled over by highway patrol and given a field sobriety test. FML
Today, I saw someone drive recklessly as if they were drunk. When I called the cops, I got pulled over by another cop for talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I rear ended a cop while talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I was driving to work when a state trooper rammed into my car from behind, because he was on the cell phone and not paying attention. He gave me a ticket for "Failure to control speed to avoid a crash." 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, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML
Today, I pulled over because my cell phone was ringing, as it's now illegal to use in a car. I finished the call when a motorcycle cop on side of road pulls up behind me and comes over. The reason? "You pulled off the road and it was suspicious, then I ran your plate…" FML
Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

why didn't you just show him the last number dialed on your phone? I'm sure that a cop would know the local police phone number

It probably wasn't a DUII driver...it was probably just a person using their cell phone, just like you. I see it all the time, especially with texters.

This is why you pull over and call the police. YDI.

If you can afford a car and a cell phone then you can afford a hands-free calling device! YDI

Well, talking on cells while driving isn't illegal here in Indiana, but there are definitely terrible drivers who need to be repoted! So I say FML, that sucks. But thanks for trying to make the roads a little safer.

"I have an idea, I'll break the law and do something dangerous to report someone else who is ALSO breaking the law and doing something dangerous!" ...Good train of thought there, OP.

You're an idiot. Talking on the phone isn't as dangerous as driving drunk. I think trying to get a drunk driver out of the street is worth the almost non-existant risk. Most of you guys posting on here are idiots. He was only trying to protect people from becoming a statistic and dying from a drunk driver. But yes he should be able to afford a hands-free, but regardless, OP did not deserve this.

So he couldn't have pulled over to make the call? Speaker-phone doesn't exist? I'm an idiot and you're way too fast to throw names. PS- There's a reason why talking on cell phone's is prohibited while driving. There is a VERY existent risk.

It's not prohibited in all states. In my state they have signs on the freeway saying "Call to report drunk drivers". I get that texting is not ok behind the wheel, but talking on your phone? How is that any different than talking to the person next to you? Or in the back seat? Should we make it illegal to talk to the passengers in the car too?

show him the call log dummy. or at least now show the log at your ticket hearing. even if u deleted it u can probably print out a detailed bill from your provider online. this is not an fml, your just too dumb to correct this easy.
