Today, the driver side mirror of my car was smashed off and laying on the ground. On the window was a $75.00 ticket for improper equipment for not having a mirror. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my car to a car wash, and when I got it back, one of the rearview mirrors was missing. Someone knocked it off and the management refuses to cooperate on who was the thief. FML
Today, my dad was looking for something in the garage and accidentally knocked over a heavy box, which crushed the new side view mirror I'd bought for my car, because the one my car originally had, he smashed it against a pole while driving my car recently. FML
Today, I had my first accident in 5 years of driving. I clipped a Ford Fiesta, mirror to mirror. His mirror is totally destroyed. Mine is fine. I was so stressed afterwards that I reversed straight into another car. FML
Today, I was stopped in traffic when a woman rear-ended me, backed up, and sped off along the shoulder, taking my passenger side mirror with her. FML
Today, running late for work, I ran outside and the door handle literally broke off my vehicle when I pulled to open it. I climbed in through the passenger door, turned on my car, and the windshield wipers were on… swiping a fresh $78 parking ticket across my windshield. FML
Today, I received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. FML
Today, the driver's side window of my car was busted, and inside was a note that said, "Sorry, thought this was my car." 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 broke my mirror off going to the drive-through at McDonald's. Even the cashier watching was like, "Fuck, dude." FML
Today, I got into an accident, driving pretty slowly on a left turn signal trying to avoid a curb, sticking it out for too long, breaking a car's sideview mirror and causing scratches. The police was called. I have to appear in court for a misdemeanour for my first offence ever. Good bye student visa. FML

I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who broke it off.

you probably should've taken a picture, but still try to fight the ticket.

Who did you piss off? Bet it was someone who hated you and then called their cop dad to make your life worse. Sorry but it happens. I would be pissed if someone broke my baby like that. But you could fight it in court?

Fake. You can't get a ticket unless you are driving -- there is no minimum requirement for equipment to park. Additionally, you would have gotten a Equipment failure ticket, and 72 hours to get it fixed before it became a fine.

It actually depends what area you're in. Where I live, I would've gotten the same fine, even if my car was parked because it's over all not considered safe, at least in my area those are the rules.

fake, mirrors aren't even required. A car with no mirrors is perfectly legal.

No, a car with no mirrors is NOT legal. Two working mirrors, however, is acceptable.

if the cop saw the mirror laying on the ground, he wouldn't have given you a ticket. he'd have been smart enough to know what happened. and usually with equiptment issues you get a warning to fix it before they give you a fine!

you're a liar, cars are only required to have 1 side mirror and 1 review mirror, and if your car is parked the cop can't write you a ticket for missing a mirror

All I know is Texas, and HERE at least, probably pretty close in date and requirements other places, if it's pre-1963 you only need one side mirror on the driver's side. After that, it's all three.

I went to Ireland once, got lost in Dublin, the Gardai woman laughed at me.

dethmaul that's wrong, it's just 2 here in Texas, I drive around in my jeep with my doors off all the time though and it's only required to have 1 side mirror and 1 review mirror, you should actually try looking it up before you speak

Fake indeed. You don't need a drivers side mirror, only a passengers side mirror. It's not possible to get a ticket for not having a drivers side mirror.

Depending where you are. Where I am, you need all mirrors and lights and even if the car is parked you will still get fined. Everywhere had different rules.
