Today, I was given a ticket for running a red light. The reason? I was moving out of the way of an ambulance. The police officer watched it go by. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." 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, 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, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. FML
Today, I got a red light camera ticket for $100 in the mail. After checking the date and time, I realized it was from when I was rear ended into the intersection while STOPPED at a red light. FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, I received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. FML
Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, I was at a stop light when I saw a cute police officer at the light across the intersection. Trying to be cute as I drove by, I turned and winked and waved. The car in front of me stopped, I rear-ended them, and then I got rear-ended. The cute cop winked back, then wrote me a ticket. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think you have at least a 50% chance of having the ticket dismissed if you contest it.

On one hand you shouldn't have moved because it creates more problems for the ambulance, but on the other hand not moving has issues too. Awww shit, we should have paid more attention in driving school.

it is actually against the law to break the law while moving out of the way of emergency services vehicle. if you cannot move safely and legally then you don't move. that cop had every right to give you a ticket.

uhh that was a kind of stupid move! " There's an ambulance behind me, so I'm going to run a red light into possible oncoming traffic". Turn, and if you can't turn then wait for the light to change... running a red light is running a red light. Read up on it!

I've seen a time when all traffic came to a stop at a 4 way intersection and a few cars went through the red light to allow the ambulance to pass. No risk whatsoever involved. It is possible for people to do the right thing and stop when they hear an ambulance. This sucks. Take it to court. He's unlikely to show up anways.

You can't exactly break one law while trying to observe another and call it even.

Suggest you challenge this one. You just might win. I do a lot of work with a judge who also covers traffic matters, and he's very reasonable. Have to admit though that I don't think it was wise to put yourself in danger of being hit by oncoming traffic, ambulance or no ambulance.
