Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." FML

Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML

Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, I was driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front of me swerving across 3 lanes of traffic. Thinking he might be drunk, I dialed 911 on my phone, but I dropped it. I fished under my seat to get it, swerving, and got pulled over by highway patrol and given a field sobriety test. FML

Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML

Suspicious

By Anonymous - 11/09/2020 15:02 - United States - Boise

Today, I pulled over because my cell phone was ringing, as it's now illegal to use in a car. I finished the call when a motorcycle cop on side of road pulls up behind me and comes over. The reason? "You pulled off the road and it was suspicious, then I ran your plate…" FML

why didn't you just show him the last number dialed on your phone? I'm sure that a cop would know the local police phone number

It probably wasn't a DUII driver...it was probably just a person using their cell phone, just like you. I see it all the time, especially with texters.

Why? Not being able to talk on your cell phone while driving is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I always drive with one hand,I actually drive better that way. If I can't hold something up to my face and talk without crashing,I shouldn't be on the road. And if humanity can't do that,maybe all cars should be taken alway.

What's with the "ydi for snitching" comments? I would want someone to call the cops before he hits a car and kills someone.

I can see a problem with texting while driving but making a call is perfectly fine, and not illegal where I live. Fyl.

I don't get the not calling while driving.... Should people also not change there radio station? Talk to other people in the car? God forbid if they have small children. Just because there are some dumb people who can't talk and drive at the same time doesn't mean anyone should be ticketed because they made the choice to talk on the phone and drive. Most people can handle it.

That person was probably having a seizure or a stroke or something.. If someone is driving recklessly the correct response is not "if you can't beat em join em" You stay 100% focused. If you have hands-free call sure. If not let someone who does call. Don't risk more people's lives so you're the "hero".
