Cars, Accident and Transportation: Prove me wrong

Prove me wrong

By Irony - 08/10/2009 11:40 - United States

Today, my dad took a call while driving. He always yells and curses at people who talk on their cell while driving. I asked him to get off the phone because it's dangerous, and told him he's being a hypocrite. He shook his head at me and continued talking. Seconds later, we got into an accident. FML

Today, while on the road, my dad called twice before I pulled over and answered the phone. He first got mad at me for not answering, and then again later for "paying attention to my phone" while driving. FML

Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML

Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. 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, my dad nearly had a head-on collision with another car, but I grabbed the wheel at the last second, potentially saving both our lives. He spent the rest of the car trip pissed at me because I'd "interfered" with his driving. FML

Today, my dad was driving me to college. I'd cracked a joke about how old people like him shouldn't be allowed to drive, and I guess he took it personally, what with him speeding straight up to the parking lot wall, and only braking after I started shrieking in terror. FML

I'm an excellent driver

Today, I got in the car with my brother, who drives all the time with his eyes glued to his phone. We stopped at a red light, it turned green. I noticed that he was still looking down and told him the car ahead was moving. I then got screamed at, saying how I'm always right, how my friends suck, and how he wished I was dead. FML

Today, I called 911 to report a drunk driver. The operator yelled at me for following the guy and told me to get off the phone because I shouldn't be driving with a phone to my ear. 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

If you guys were in California, your dad broke the law.

Unless you were actually hurt in the accident or he was driving your car at the time, then I wouldn't necessarily consider this an FML. I'd be curious to know if it's more because you had been talking to him and not just the phone call, or if either is actually to blame (it could actually be neither). I'd say FHL, but he was kind of asking for it to happen. He deserved it. Karma wins.

I'm proud of you for standing up to someone being a hypocrite. While I hope everyone is ok, it serves him right and I hope hes learned a lesson.

I know this family and even though the dad was being a hypocrite, the accident would have happened regardless of whether he was on the phone or not.

Either distract him more and hopefully get rid of all the distractions, resulting in a MUCH SAFER trip, or let him be distracted the whole way, potentially getting into accidents?Your choice.

And you know that due to you psychic ability? Accidents don't always just happen whether or not someone is on the phone, driving distracted can be a factor in accidents that could have been avoided
