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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

The cop would have your speed down before you can see them. If you touch your brakes you have just admitted guilt to speeding. I have rammed a car that pressed on the brakes when the saw a a cop and they were charged with unsafe operation of a motor vehicle. You deserve to wreck your car

Possibly the worst driver in the country

"A little over" my ass. If you had to slam on the brakes and lost control of the vehicle you were going much faster, or you are literally the worst driver in the US and need to turn your license in before you kill someone idiot!

That's what you get for driving like a Dick! Karma can be a bitch!

What you should have done was let off the gas. Hitting the brakes is just a clear message to the cops that you were speeding. Coast it down next time. If they have a speed gun then your are screwed anyway.

Cops stationed on the side of the road to ticket people for going over the speed limit really do see you before you see them. There's no point in slowing down when you see one because they already may have checked our speed.

Instead of driving a little over the speed limit don't drive over the speed limit.

You could always, you know, not speed to begin with. Especially since you are driving a ton of metal, and being just "a little" over the speed limit can be the difference between everyone walking away only slightly injured or someone having their life taken. I have absolutely no empathy for you.

I really hate drivers like you op, your actions on the road due to seeing a cop could have caused (and did) an accident. They really don't care if you were truly going a "little" (aka

never slam the brakes unless you're about to crash. if you wanna slow down just let go of the accelerator and ease down on the brake
