Today, I bust my lip when a car bumped into mine. As I headed home, I was stopped by the police who told me my back light was out. I tried to explain, but it just came out as "fghjiljh" because of my lip. I was arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving. FML

LOLL, wait but I don't get how you can't talk properly just cause your lip is swollen a bit

That sucks. But a test would immediately prove you didn't drink, so it's not that bad?

FALSE. your lip would be obviously swollen and/or bruised if you really bumped it because a car hit you. pigs aren't smart, but they arent real dumb, either.

wtf who allowed this FML to be seen by the general public this is a waste of time to everyone.

You're a huge waste of time you fail buddy! XD

I know everyone is crying wolf for the drunk driving part, but what about the LEAVING THE SCENE OF A CRIME!!!! You were in an accident that damaged your car, why the hell would you leave and not get an accident report?? YDI for being a dumbass!

Who said they didn't? The officer that responded would still have to go back to the station, process it, and file it. The other officers might not find out for at least a couple of days... And even then, they have no idea you were in an accident when they scan your plates.

from the UK or not, you can't arrest someone without a good reason. the cop would have given them a breathalyzer test. FAKE!!!

Have you people never watched COPS? I've seen them arrest people for drunk driving plenty of times without using a breathalizer. They just make them walk a line, hold their foot in the air, all this dumb shit, and if the person can't do it right (some of it I couldn't do right SOBER) they arrest them. Especially if they're trying to meet quota at the end of the month (not sure if they have that in the UK but you get the point). OP - in the US, we have to talk to the other driver when we get in an accident, exchange information for insurance purposes and all that. It sounds like you didn't do that... I've bitten my lip so bad I can't talk properly. I mean I could but it hurt like all hell. I can definitely understand how having a bust lip would make you talk weird. But hopefully they'd see the lip injury, see damage to your car, give you a breath test, and clear the arrest.

bullshit. I've never known someone to not be able to speak because their lip was swollen. And the officer could probably see that.

This reminded me of the movie Fun with Dick and Jane, where she had a swollen lip due to a side effect from the cosmetic she was tested on... hehe;)

true, but it does take a lot for your lip to swell to the point that you can't speak.
