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 driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front of me swerving across 3 lanes of traffic. Thinking he might be drunk, I dialed 911 on my phone, but I dropped it. I fished under my seat to get it, swerving, and got pulled over by highway patrol and given a field sobriety test. FML
Today, I had to explain to a cop that the reason I was speeding was because my girlfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. He was working the accident just ten minutes before and saw me leave behind the ambulance. He still gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." FML

Today, I lost control of my vehicle while driving. The car went off the road, rolled over, and ended up being totaled. The policeman asked me if I was alright and I said I was. He seemed relieved at my answer. Then he handed me a $300 ticket for failing to maintain my lane. FML

Yeah, you can probably get out of it easily. If the cop didn't pull you over for talking on the phone and only came over after you pulled over and were off the phone, then he can't prove that you actually drove while talking. You can lie and say your phone rang, you pulled over and found out and stayed pulled over because you were upset. Even though that's not the case, the judge doesn't know that, and the cop never saw you on the phone, so neither does he. So sorry for your loss though...

Fight that ticket! You will obviously win if the judge has any sympathy.

...if your friends died because their car got hit by somebody talking on a cell phone, this would be hilarious. and to everybody saying that it's not a big deal to talk on a phone while driving: according to a study done by the university of utah, talking on a cell phone while driving can be as dangerous (if not more) as drunk driving. So would we still be calling the cop a dick if he gave a ticket to the OP if she were drunk, with the same circumstances?

Would you say the same thing if it was a drinking and driving charge?

lmao!!! I was thinking the exact same thing.. Who worries about something so insignificant at a time like that?? The last time someone close to me died my world temporarily stopped and I can't tell you anything else that happened other than them dying.. yea, yeah, yeah so it didnt happen today bc fmls all start that way.. but if it were me the last thing i would remember about that day would be the stupid ticket.

The no cell phone while driving law is completely ridiculous. Shitty drivers will be shitty drivers if there on the phone or not. Being on the phone just gives them an excuse.
