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.

ya kno generally getting rear ended is the person behinds fault because you are suppose to give yourself ample time to break if the vehicle infront of you (1 car length for every 10 miles i believe) so while yes the op broke hard and cause a pile up if they had hypothetically had to stop for a real emergency like a deer dartiing out( we have alot fo those out here) then the car behind shouldn't hit them so obviously they were speeding too and tailgating so its their fault which is why insurance doesn't usually cover all the damages for that

No if your car makes skid marks on the road because you braked hard as the OP said he did it would be OP's fault. The only exception is if there was an accident or some blockage in the road. It is 100% illegal to drive around and hit your brakes through the floor because you don't want a ticket

The rear-ending car is always the one to take the blame because the law about required space between cars is created to prevent that. Please tell me that you didn't make them pay. =P

Isn't it nice to know you could have killed 4 carloads of people? I'd love to read the FMLs of the people in the other cars who now have to pay out the ass, because some idiot in front of them doesn't know that you shouldn't brake on the highway.
