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, 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 tailgated on the highway. There was a car in the lane next to me, and my tailgater was WAY too close to risk slowing down, so I sped up in order to switch lanes, which bumped me over the speed limit. That's when my tailgater turned on the flashing lights. 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, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. 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, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. FML

Today, some aggressive asshole was tailgating me on my way home, bumping into me twice. I got scared and kicked my car into high gear and got out of there. Seconds later, a traffic cop came out of nowhere and pulled me over for speeding. FML

Tailgate party

By Anonymous - 23/05/2014 22:06 - Canada - Oakville

Today, while driving home, some idiot kept tailgating me, so I slowed down, hoping he'd overtake me. He didn't, so I pulled to the side of the road. He did the same, in front of me. He kept toying with me until I crashed into another car trying to speed away from him. 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 driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

I slow down for tailgaters. Wouldn't change if it were a cop. It's one of those moments where you just pray a deer would jump in front of you so that you could slam on your breaks and the moron would crash right into you for following too close.

Cops do alot of bullshit just to be dicks. Around here, cops like to go like... 10 miles under the speed limit and watch everyone refuse to pass them for fear of getting a ticket.

the reason they drive under the speed limit is so people aren't scared to pass them without getting a ticket, even though it has the reverse effect.

Or people where you live can grow some balls and pass him since he is doin like 10 under the speed limit

Police officers never win, it doesn't matter what they do. Either way it is going to look like they're leading the Daytona 500.

#8 - I hope you're talking about KPH, and 140 kph is pretty fast. 140 kph = 87 mph. Whats the speed limit on highways/freeways in your country?

#14: yeah I'm talking KPH. the speed limit is 100 on highways but the far left lane when there's light traffic will often be 125-140.

Technically you're both stupid in this situation. You didn't let him pass. He tailgated going 90+ mph.

3 miles is quite a while for a cop to hesitate. Why'd he wait until you slowed down to stop you?

so that he could see how much she will speed up to give her the biggest ticket possible.

So, I know people are sitting there on their high and mighty chairs preaching "karma," but what the hell was a cop doing tailgating you? Not okay! I don't think it's particularly a good idea to pick fights with asshole drivers like that (but I admit I've done it), but seriously, the cop had no right to pull you over for that one. He was driving aggressively!
