Today, the blinker on my car was broken so I decided to play it safe and drive a different car to work. I guess it wouldn’t have mattered which car I drove, as the cop nicely told me one of the headlights was out when he pulled me over. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. FML
Today, I drove to my cousin's house so he could help me fix my broken tail light. On the way there, I got pulled over for having a broken tail light. 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 driving home. It was late and I wanted to get home so I started speeding. I didn't wanna get a ticket so I slowed down everytime I saw a car that could be a cop, judging by headlights. There was a car with a busted headlight so I sped up. Couldn't be a cop car. It could. $216 proof. 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 got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML
Today, I was pulled over and given a ticket for a broken tail light. On the way to the mechanic. To get my tail light fixed. FML
Today, I pulled up to the stoplight near my house. It was dark with no traffic and the car behind me kept edging closer and closer to me. I finally got fed up with waiting and the car and ran it. In fact, it was a cop and he was trying to read my license plate because the back light was out. FML
Today, the car in front of me was going slow and I flashed my lights and honked. I floored it and passed the car, flipping off the driver. Just as I went around the next corner, I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. A few seconds later, the guy I flipped off drove by honked and waved. FML
Today, I was speeding a little on the highway. I thought I saw a police car, so I slammed on my brakes, causing the person behind me to rear end me. The "police car" I saw was just a broken down car on the side of the road. FML

maintenance has nothing to do with it, these lights go out at any point.

I was once pulled over by a cop who had a headlight out. They check before each shift. 🤷🏻♀️

If you keep up on maintenance and pay attention to your vehicles, that doesn't happen. You totally deserved it.

Bad luck op, but tip for future - check the lights when you get into your car.

Why wouldnt you just drive the car with no blinker to a parts store and take the 2 minutes it would to replace the bulb? Most people dont even use blinkers anyway

Well, let’s put it this way: on my car (a 2004 VW) it requires removing the engine cover to get at the driver side lights, and removing the air intake to get at the passenger lights, both of which require tools to do. My parents car requires pulling the front of the car about 6 inches out from the body to get at the lights at all. This requires about 3 hours at a fully stocked mechanic’s shop.

It’s not a moving violation, the cop just gives a repair order. No fine or points

Not working lightbulbs IS a ticketable offense.

Jeez - first world problems much? My car had a minor defect, so I used one of the other I have... Really? I think you can afford the repairs and any fine. Grow up.

You need to constantly check and refill your blinker and headlights fluids! Safety first!
