Transportation: Today, Geico called to tell me they were canceling my insurance....

Today, Geico called to tell me they were canceling my insurance. Someone I don't know got pulled over for drunk-driving and the police wrote down my license plate number instead by accident. Although the DMV says they cleared everything up, Geico still won't believe it wasn't me. FML

Today, I hit someone’s car and got arrested for a DUI. I had to tell my parents so they could remove me from the insurance. My mom's response in the background after I told my dad was "I knew it." FML

Adding insult to injury

Today, I got into an accident and my car was totaled. My friends then took me out to a bar for a drink to make me feel better. It appears that the police officer I'd spoken to had kept my I.D. by mistake and I couldn't get into the bar. FML

Today, I found out that my insurance canceled my contract, claiming I hadn't paid, even though I had. I only discovered this because I backed into a car. FML

Today, I got called out of class to talk to some cops. Turns out my car was involved in a hit and run accident, while I was in school and there was no possible way it could have been me. But since they have no one else, it's my fault. FML

Today, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML

Today, I got a speeding ticket. I couldn't find my insurance card, and the cop was very nice. He said not to worry about it, that I "looked like someone who had insurance." I'm not sure how to take that. FML

Can they do that?

Today, we got a call saying there was a police report filed against us, after my car got hit while I was at work a few days ago. They lied about everything, and now my insurance is dropping us FML

Today, someone drove into my car at an intersection and drove off. Luckily, I got the car's registration plate and called the cops on them. Turns out, it was my boyfriend's brother's girlfriend, who was illegally driving without a license. Now everyone's mad at me for getting her in trouble. FML

High speed car chase

By drivingmecrazy - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Sacramento

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

You'd have to be THAT blind to accidentally write a completely wrong plate number. That officer, or even better a superior, really needs to talk to whatever person at Geico doesn't believe you.

Something like this happened to me. If GEICO dropped you then so be it. You need insurance. Get new coverage. If you have a long and good history it was likely an automated procedure that happened that involved no human intervention. Work it out and they should reinstate you and cover costs of your current insurance as credit. Least, thats what happened is my situation. They covered 6 months of insurance payments just to bring me back on (this wasn't Geico btw).

I had geico for 8 years. They continuously dicked me over for that entire time. I finally gave in and went with a different insurance agency (State Farm) and my car insurance went from $98 a month with geico for BASIC insurance, to $60 a month for FULL coverage, including my passengers, my DOG, glass, all of it... for less money... **** Geico.

Even though the DMV has proof that it was a police officer's error that caused you to be cited, they won't believe you? Screw them. I hope you find a better insurance company to cover you.
