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

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, while driving extremely fast on a road in the middle of nowhere, I started to go down a hill. Noticing a police car at the bottom, I slammed my brakes and blew a tire in the process. It turns out the police car was an old cutout used to trick people. 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, while driving home, I saw a cop with a speed gun "hidden" by the side of the road. I went to slow down so the fuck-knob wouldn't be able to ticket me. I then had a brain-fart and floored the gas instead of hitting the brakes. Hello speeding ticket. 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, 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 was driving with my grandma and she was going 30 over the speed limit. To slow her down, I said, "Hey look, the police". She slammed on the brakes so hard I hit my head on the dashboard. FML
Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML
Today, I accidentally rear-ended an undercover police car. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you were only going "a little" over, you should know you dont need to slam on the brakes to go back under. So either you were going more than a little, or you're just a dumb driver. YDI

I'm sorry but as I read your FML, I feel like you're among those who causes traffic and road accidents. YDI.

You definitely deserved that one. You don't slam on your brakes just because you see a cop.

It's drivers like you who cause accidents. Hitting the brakes hard because you were going "a little over" the speed limit isn't gonna save you from a ticket, because odds are the cop observed you speeding before you saw his car. I'm glad you didn't crash due to your overreaction, but still, YDI.

I just use cruise control at 4 over the limit. I can pass cops all day and they don't pull u over.

Set my cruise to 10 over passing through Charlotte, NC. Two state troopers followed right behind my car for a while before passing. Guess if they can't get me going at least 15 over, they aren't going to bother xD As far as "life hacks" go... I am so bitter about this new trend in the English language.

yeah where I live I drive 65 down a 55 road because that's not that fast, compared to the cars that pass me going at least 75. On that road a cop wont pull you over for anything less than 70, because I'm often passed by people doing 80-85 all the time.

I pass cops all the time. I hate people who will drive at the same speed as the cop and block traffic. So long as you aren't driving like a maniac then they'll leave you alone.

As someone about to revive their license, this is quite unnerving!

Look on the bright side at least you didn't get a ticket!

He probably did honestly, for speeding and/or reckless driving. He might have just run out of characters to say so.

Maybe Jesus isn't such a great copilot

Usually why you just let go of the gas. One, the lights are a give away that you may have been speeding. Two...well.. you know.

A little over speed limit would mean that just raising your foot would make your vehicle go back to the limit. If you have to brake you were going a way over the speed limit.
