Today, I was driving on the freeway when I get a call from my friend explaining that our two best friends died in a car accident. I pulled over in hysterics and a cop came to see what was wrong. I explained what happened and he gave me a ticket for talking on the phone while driving. 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, 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 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 had to explain to a cop that the reason I was speeding was because my girlfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. He was working the accident just ten minutes before and saw me leave behind the ambulance. He still gave me a ticket. FML

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 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 lost control of my vehicle while driving. The car went off the road, rolled over, and ended up being totaled. The policeman asked me if I was alright and I said I was. He seemed relieved at my answer. Then he handed me a $300 ticket for failing to maintain my lane. FML

Today, I was driving to work when a state trooper rammed into my car from behind, because he was on the cell phone and not paying attention. He gave me a ticket for "Failure to control speed to avoid a crash." FML

So a lot of people are asking why someone in this situation would be on FML. And a lot of people are answering "Well, just because it starts with 'Today' doesn't mean it happened today..." I don't care if it happened a year ago, why would anyone want to bring up horrible memories like that for themselves, for the sake of a submission on some insignificant website?! Its not like this website is known for being supportive... I'm not saying that I think the OP is lying, just that I can understand why people are getting on her for posting on FML.

I am usually the first to say YDI, but that was just heartless on their part! Two people DIED! Even though you did violate the law, it just shows how heartless people can be in these times. I am so sorry for you.

Honestly? You shouldn't be answering the phone when driving. It's not safe. The cop was insensitive, but the law's the law.

well hate to say it but if talking on the cell while driving where you are is illegal you deserve the ticket... your friends dying sucks but you didn't even know it before answering the call. by your areas laws I'm guessing you shouldve pulled over before answering. sorry bout your friends though.

#72 is a ducking ass hole. You obviously don't have enough of a heart to have any friends so you'll never know how that feels. 72, SHUT THE HELL UP YOU STUPID BITCH. As for the OP, I'm so sorry.

i'm sorry for your loss. if you live in washington state, like your nickname suggests, i'm fairly sure you can't be given a ticket for talking on the phone as a primary offense. therefore, when you go to court to contest your ticket you can say that the cop shouldn't have been able to give you a ticket because you were on the shoulder, not driving, and not doing anything else wrong.
