Today, I stopped at a red light. I noticed the car in front of me had their reverse lights on. I thought to myself, "Meh, that person must know. They wouldn't do that." The light turned green. Turns out they didn't. Nor did they have insurance. FML

Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML

Today, I stopped at a yellow light. The guy behind me did not. He had no insurance. FML

Today, the person I was driving behind put their car in reverse and backed straight into me. I was then yelled at and told, "I had my reversing lights on! Why didn't you move?!" FML

Today, I was driving in my very own car that I bought and paid for myself, when I stopped at a stop light. Then I noticed the truck in front of me turn on his reverse lights. I honked desperately. He hits me, looks out the window and says, "I see no damage" and drives away. FML

Stuck on Amber

By River - 26/02/2009 16:17 - United States

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, 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

Karma

By Justwantedathankyou - This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff - United States - Loudon

Today, I noticed that an SUV forgot to put their gas cap back on, so I tried honking and flashing my lights to get their attention. They slammed on their brakes, causing me to rear-end them. So much for good karma. 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 saw a woman still texting on her phone as she started to drive away when the light turned green. I made sure to stare her down and give her a dirty look because she wasn't paying attention to driving. She laughed as I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML

Damn that sucks...the first time i ever drove i did that in a residential neighborhood except i was the one in reverse....and the car behind me was a brand new Mercedes SL55. He pulled up very close behind me cus he was very impatient. I floored it...how i didnt hit him i dont know, i guess i must have spidy reflexes, but i came to a stop about 5 inches away from him.

Can you say "HONK!" HONK until they fix things :P Fool.. besides, even if they "reversed" into you, - you were too close and technically "you rear ended them" and they're entitled even though really they were the stupid ones.... too close since they easily backed into you....

how is this a fml? The guy didn't have insurance so it's their fault not yours.

thats sucks for the OP but #28 has a point that some cars like a BMW have reverse all the way on the left instead of on the right

I don't get why the car would have been in reverse in the first place? But anyway, that sucks. But it's obviously their fault so they'll have to pay for it, so it doesn't seem like it's a fyl.

"Nor" is only used in a sentence after a comma, when the word 'Neither' is presented in the 1st half of the sentence.

Hmm...maybe I just don't understand driving rules (I'm underage) but it seems like they got the worst part of this situation. I mean, they A) were stupid enough to not realize they were in reverse, B) the perpetrator of the accident, and C) they don't have insurance. F THEIR life. Really sucks about the car, though.

it does not matter if they don't have insurance. you should get coverage for any damage to your car under the "uninsured motorist" provision of your own auto insurance policy
