Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML
Today, I was pulled over and was given a $300 ticket for going 90mph on a 70mph highway. The cop swore he saw my silver car darting in and out of traffic. A couple of minutes earlier that exact car had passed me while I was following the speed limit. 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, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML
Today, after driving a few hours late at night I decided to entertain the car tailgating me by not letting him pass. After doing this for 3miles, reaching 93MPH, I decided to let the car pass me. When I switched lanes, the car tailgating me light up in red and blue. It was a cop. FML
Today, a cop pulled me over because there was a sign hidden behind a tree that said "No left turn". As I was getting my ticket, I watched as three cars turned left. The cop saw them, laughed, and said, "I guess you're the unlucky one." 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 was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML
Today, I was driving down a completely empty street when a cop pulled me over for no reason at all. When he approached my window, I began to get defensive until he informed me I was driving the wrong way down a one way street. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#29 What are you talking about? As for OP. Deserve every bit of it. How you get lost on some backroads is beyond me. Can't follow roads back, left when you did right, etc? Maybe next time you won't be dumb enough to pull such a stupid stunt. #17 Be that as it may, this was a rural country road. Likely two lanes, curvy and maybe hilly. 73 is too fast for that.

lots of lil urban myths here... #1, #11 - cops CAN radar you while driving. 10 years ago they couldn't, but trust me, they can. Even still, he can nail you for reckless. Judges know that cops can recognize speeding cars vs. non speeding cars (esp at that range) #17, you're partially correct. 70 is only in rural areas. That designation (whatever engineers consider the degree of the turn) was also made when cars weren't quite as maneuverable, so it's probably higher. In urban and suburban areas the limit is much lower. I've also seen slower speed limits in congested areas, which makes sense. It's also been a few years since I've seen the specs. As for him "lying" - its possible. If you want to test that theory and you are positive he's going to give you a ticket - you can ask to see the radar. Depending on the state they have to let you see it. In NJ they may get you before you go before the judge and let you plead it down to save court time and still get your money. Most municipalities don't care about the points. This is DEF not the case in some other states, like SC. By running the little cat and mouse game you pretty much clinched the ticket though, prosecutor prob. would want to see that taken through. Get a lawyer who's worked traffic and from the municipality you got your ticket and you'll probably get off with a parking ticket or something, since lawyers in the same town often know each other and do favors. You'll still have to pay something though. This is all from experience and firsthand knowledge, but you should trust me as much as a Wikipedia article.

I don't see how this was passed with the way it's worded. That, and it's pretty stupid.

Lmao, I thought about doing that when I got mine, but I wouldn't be able to work after that since he was there all the time dealing with the snowboard thefts

YDI. Plain and simple. Although, FYL for how expensive those tickets are going to be.

Honestly, I probably would've done the same.
