Transportation: Today, I pulled up to the stoplight near my house. It was dark...

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, 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, 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, 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, a stoplight turned yellow as I was approaching it. I was about to go through but saw a cop, panicked, and slammed on the brakes. I ended up in the middle of the intersection and had to reverse. Soon the light turned green, and I stepped on the gas. My car was still in reverse. 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

Today, I pulled up to an intersection behind a car waiting to turn left and we missed a whole set of lights. As I was getting frustrated that they weren’t going when the light was green, I realised I was waiting behind a parked car. FML

Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. 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 pulled up to a red light. My ex was in the next car, and my car's windows are so tinted that you can't see through them, so I flipped him off. I was driving my mom's car. FML

On police cars the lights don't always have to be on

#17 - I do the same thing. I hate it when someone tries to intimidate me into speeding by practically crawling up my ass. I purposefully slow down, sometimes by quite a bit. ;P I do get annoyed being stuck behind slow drivers, but only if they're going significantly under the speed limit. I figure if they're doing the limit then I can't complain.

HAHA YDI. How did you miss the mass of lights on the roof and even if it was an unmarked it would have at least 2 but most have 3 antennas that are really had to miss. #22 if someone does that it’s called tail gating all you have to do is slam on your breaks and let him hit you. He is at fault and all you need to do is say you saw something bolt on the road... cat... dog anything works and he has to pay for all damages. Works really well if you have a cr@p car and want a new one. LOL

Sorry, but YDI. Rules are there for a reason: follow them. Just because someone is annoying/makes you nervous, does not mean that you can break rules, that's just dumb.

Could possibly get out of that in court. Argue that the cops behavior seemed harassing or threatening. And if he wanted to read your license plate, he could/should have just pulled you over, then read it. No reason why he should look at your plate before deciding to pull you over.
