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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 saw someone drive recklessly as if they were drunk. When I called the cops, I got pulled over by another cop for talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, a cop car was tailing me. I was scared, and trying to avoid any tickets, I drove straight through a huge pothole rather than swerving to avoid it. The cop pulled me over and insisted I was intoxicated, because, "anybody in their right mind would've dodged that pothole." FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I was pulled over by a cop. She asked why I was being pulled over and figuring she knew I said, "For swerving because of my alcohol problem." I had a broken tail light. FML
Today, I was pulled over for a DWI. The police officer was drunk. FML
Today, while driving home I had to pee really bad, so I speeded up to get home quicker. I got pulled over for speeding and peed my pants. The cop, assuming I was drunk, made me take a sobriety test. I had to walk a straight line with piss all over my pants at 2:00 in the afternoon. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I tried to make a joke to ease the tension and said, "I’m just trying to keep up with the traffic!" The officer looked around at the empty road and said, "What traffic? Are you under the influence? HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" It went downhill from there. 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 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 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

Just because you're calling 911 on your cell doesn't mean you're exempt from doing something incredibly dangerous. Next time, pull over to the side of the road, call 911, and keep other people out of danger.

911 is for emergencies. why don't you people know the number for your local highway patrol? and you all know you talk on the phone while driving, so get off your high horse.

#23...on California freeways, or at least in the city where I live, there are signs that say "If you suspect a drunk driver, dial 911" :P And I don't talk on my phone while I'm driving, because where I live, you can get a ticket for it. On top of that, my mother is a traffic lieutenant and would whoop my ass if I got a ticket for something like that. Anyway, OP, pull over next time. What you did was dangerous. :/

that person could have saved your life/your mother/father's/sibling's life, if the person was actually drunk. they're not nosy for this, just like people aren't nosy for reporting suspected child abuse, domestic abuse or general illegal activities. grow the **** up

OP could have KILLED you/your mother/father/siblings because of his extremely dangerous behavior using his cellphone while driving. How about YOU grow the **** up : most people bashing OP did so because of HIS ******* reckless driving. OP might have had good intention, but epic failed at appropriate timing for action, becoming himself a danger to everyone on the road. Heck, a danger to everyone on AND near the road. I don't want him driving at all because of his poor judgement.

two wrongs don't make a right. NEVER use your phone while driving

what #25 said. :/ you wouldn't think it was funny if that drunk driver wound up hitting you, so be glad there are people willing to phone it in. I still think the OP should have pulled over before using their phone, but trying to call was still the right thing to do.

@#1's it took some thinking, but I don't think #1 was calling OP a heartless bitch... you were calling Karma a heartless bitch. Am I right? if not, disregard.

First, #17, LMAO. Second, this is why they made bluetooth. For people who cannot go without talking on their phones. And FYI #28, Talking on your cell phone while driving in california is illegal, again, that is why they made BLUETOOTH! They are thinking of implementing the same law here in Texas. There are laws to abide by, as well as loop holes.
