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

FYL for losing your friends, but YDI for the ticket. you wouldnt have gotten the ticket if you followed the law and called back when you were off the car. i dont know why everyone thinks the cop should have let her go, is it okay to break the law if your friends died? besides, it was before she even knew about their death she picked up the phone and broke the law. the cop was just doing his job.

Nope, I have done plenty of illegal and hazardous things. I also take responsibility for them if I get busted or cause harm. The OP should learn to do the same.

it is possible that your two friends died in a car accident involving someone talking on a mobile phone. perhaps you should have pulled over before answering the phone. i can't feel sorry for you because i hate people who talk on their phones while driving. you'll end up hurting yourself or someone else.

Oh you poor baby :( My condolences with you and your friend. Although cops are great, that was definitely a shitty thing for him to do.

Driving whilst talking on the phone doesn't magically become any safer because you're getting important bad news. The OP deserves that ticket 100%. Here's a thought; she had to pull over because she was too upset to continue. That surely means that, for a short period between recieving the call and pulling over, there was a "hysterical" upset woman driving a vehicle at highway speeds, presumably with one hand off the wheel holding the phone (I assume she wouldn't get a ticket if it was on hands-free speakerphone). Doesn't sound safe, does it?

You didn't know it was going to be bad news when you answered, did you? So it's a YDI, it would be a different situation if you'd known about a dying friend or relative and expecting the call. Sorry about your friends though, but just cowboy-up and the ticket.
