Today, I saw a portable speed camera on the highway and braked hard. I caused a 4 car pile-up and my car is totaled. It wasn't a speed camera. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was speeding a little on the highway. I thought I saw a police car, so I slammed on my brakes, causing the person behind me to rear end me. The "police car" I saw was just a broken down car on the side of the road. FML
Today, I was driving a little over the speed limit, when I saw a cop car waiting to join the road ahead of me. I quickly hit the brakes so they wouldn't have a payday with me. I hit the brakes too hard, lost control and almost ended up on someone's lawn. FML
Today, I crashed my car while racing backwards, so told my parents I was rear-ended. They made me call the police and file a report. I hope there were no cameras. FML
Today, I was driving on the highway and a cop had his radar gun out. The woman in front of me panics and slams her brakes on, causing me to rear end her. The cop cited me for "tailgating" and I have to pay for the damages on both of our cars. FML
Today, I was tailgated on the highway. There was a car in the lane next to me, and my tailgater was WAY too close to risk slowing down, so I sped up in order to switch lanes, which bumped me over the speed limit. That's when my tailgater turned on the flashing lights. FML
Today, I crashed into a pole on purpose as a cop pulled me over for speeding. I figured the officer would feel bad for me and that the cost of fixing my car would be less than a ticket. He gave me one anyway. FML
Today, I rear-ended a car while I was texting about the accident ahead which was causing all the traffic. FML
Today, I accidentally rear-ended an undercover police 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 rear-ended someone while trying to watch my odometer hit 80,000 miles. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You ought to lose your license. From personal experience with a jackass who did the same thing to me, I can tell you that your insurance isn't going to compensate your victims the true value of their vehicles. They will be out several thousand dollars and loads of time dealing with the mess because of what you did.

wow, you do not deserve to have a license. you don't brake hard on the highway, only if the car in front of you is stopped for whatever reason.

Why were you speeding in the first place? And you should know not to brake hard without checking your mirror. And did the vehicles behind you not leave enough room or did you brake extremely hard and give them no chance to react? Why can't people drive responsibly?

Silly OP, you so dumb man! xD Pffft... don't brake so hard next time, your car could had slid or something.

We all know that the OP had to be a woman. No man would have done this. Unless he were an Asian man.

Right, because there are no non-asian male asshole drivers.

you're a moron. YDI for having your car totaled for doing something absolutely ridiculous like this. a 4 car pile up? hopefully no one else was hurt because you were being stupid.

Patrick, this is from the UK, friend.

I realize that pretty much everybody above me is saying the same thing, but I'll add my 2 cents and say that OP is a complete moron and deserves everything s/he has coming. In the US, at least, any rear-end collision is the fault of the driver following rather than the driver in front, but this is clearly OP's fault. OP, you deserve to be flayed, sautéed, braised, and then slow-roasted on a spit over an open flame. **** you and your inability to drive. The cops should have confiscated your license and cut it up and buried it on the spot.

Let's hope op skidded out of his lane before making contact. If he leaves the lane it's his fault as an unsafe change. It could also be ruled deliberate and thus reckless driving. Next time brake check like that in front of a big rig, maybe it'll put us out of your misery.

everyone this is a lie. I'm a constable in London. and in searched for crashes in and around London and only accidents involving a maximum of 2 cars only.

Hmm, in the UK we have single carriageways, dual carriageways and motorways - no highways.
TheDrifter 24
It's like a motorway but generally moves faster.

But the FML is from the UK. I'm guessing that's why they said that
Cinn_fml 23
Yeah, it seems to be a word that covers all public roads here, as we have the Highway Code, but no actual highways... I'm guessing the OP means a motorway or dual-carriageway.

Speed cameras are not allowed on motorways, chances are it was a dual carriageway.

I was just trying to spread my Canadian understanding of the word across the pond. pollute the English language with my Canadianisms. Our government too uses the word highway to refer to all sorts of public roads, with the difference being we usually don't use a different word for them and the word highway is actually on the sign (Quebec not included).

maybe they used the american term since usually when a british person posts using our english they get a million comments from the more stupid members of this site asking what everything is, if he had written motorway there probably would have been loads of "what's a motorway" comments....

if you don't know the difference between "were" and "we're", you actually just might be.

I don't even believe a British person wrote this. It's called a motorway.
