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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 learned that several thousand people in my state got tickets this month for driving and talking on the phone. My mom called to tell me this while I was driving. I'm now part of that statistic. Thanks, mom. FML
Today, I rear ended a cop while talking 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 get a call from my friend explaining that our two best friends died in a car accident. I pulled over in hysterics and a cop came to see what was wrong. I explained what happened and he gave me a ticket for talking on the phone while driving. FML
Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, my mom told me to follow her car closely to my aunt's house. I kept really close to her which caused me to get pulled over for tailgating. I explained everything to the cop so he went over to my mom to see if that was the truth. My mom said she didn't know me. I got a ticket. Thanks mom. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML

You know what the thing is, you should ALWAYS be careful when driving, not just when a cop's around.

I thought they can't pull you over for talking on ur phone. Doesn't there have to be something else to pull you over, but he can give you a ticket after that fact? (sorry for awkward wording)

It's a new law in some states that being on a phone and driving will land you a ticket.

It depends on the state and/or if you are in the city. Here in VA if you are in the city you can't use a cellphone (but no one gets pulled over anyways) and if you are not in the city it's a secondary offense...which is what I believe it's called. And in DC you can't use a cellphone.

Actually where I live in VA, it's okay to talk on your cell and drive as long as your 18+

I wish I owned a hill... I'd look down on everyone that didn't. :(

I live on a hill and one time there was a huge flood and it turned into our own private island. Would've been more fun if it wasn't 40 degrees outside.

Shouldn't have answered your mom's call that close to your house anyways. Seems somewhat pointless to chit chat with someone when you're only moments away from seeing them.

OP wasnt 'chit chatting' her mum was trying to warn her but clearly it failed!

The road up their hill could be fourteen miles long. That's not exactly momemts away. Or maybe the mom had just passed the cop on the way to the grocery store, so she wasn't at the house. Or maybe the mom underestimates how fast OP drives, and she was closer to the house than expected. There are several explanation that render your argument invalid. Please try again next time.

The point is, if you know that your state officers can issue tickets for talking and driving, then don't answer your phone. YDI. I live in Washington and my loved ones know that I can't talk when I'm driving.

Shut up... I think it's stupid to get a ticket for talking on the phone because the op could still see what's their doing, it's not like they were texting. People like you annoy me.

Ha ha. You just got owned by your mother.
