Today, I drove to my cousin's house so he could help me fix my broken tail light. On the way there, I got pulled over for having a broken tail light. FML

If you got anything, it should have been a fix-it ticket. Repair it and show the local police, they sign off on it and everything's ok. No fine. No points.

You should have told him so, they usually believe me in such cases. #perksoflivinginIndia

Surely the officer would understand the situation if you told him you on your way to fix it?

If it was a broken headlight instead, I think you would've been able to make it home with just one. As long as you tried a little, you'd probably find something better than in the middle.

It took me a minute, but I see what you did there...

In my experience if you put a sign in your back window that you're on your way fix you usually don't get pulled over.

Just tell them you're on the way to get it fixed. How hard is that?

That happened to me once as well. Got pulled over for having a brake light out, and in spite of me showing the officer the receipt and new bulb, I still got a ticket. Yes, I was pulled over on my way home from the auto parts store.

If you mention you are getting it repaired they will usually let you go... Maybe he should come to you in the future

Yeah, I think it'd be more logical if he had gone over to your place to fix the tail light.

Remove the log from your own eye before trying to remove the splinter from your cousin's. Lol, I'm not religious but I couldn't resist the spin on the old bible parable.

How does that apply in this situation? OP had the broken light, not his cousin.

nice try creepyclowntown, tail lights don't have fluid. just turn signals do, so they flash smoothly.

That's a pretty old reference. For those who don't get it, it's a reference to this series of Youtube shorts called Red vs. Blue. In one of the early episodes, two characters send a third on a fool's errand to fetch 'elbow grease' and 'headlight fluid'.

Depending on the state you live in if you get the light fixed in 24 hrs from the time you got ticket then the ticket will be waived
