Transportation: Today, I was driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front...

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 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 saw someone drive recklessly as if they were drunk. When I called the cops, I got pulled over by another cop for talking on my cell phone. FML

Potholing

Today, a cop car was tailing me. I was scared, and trying to avoid any tickets, I drove straight through a huge pothole rather than swerving to avoid it. The cop pulled me over and insisted I was intoxicated, because, "anybody in their right mind would've dodged that pothole." FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I was pulled over by a cop. She asked why I was being pulled over and figuring she knew I said, "For swerving because of my alcohol problem." I had a broken tail light. FML

Today, while driving home I had to pee really bad, so I speeded up to get home quicker. I got pulled over for speeding and peed my pants. The cop, assuming I was drunk, made me take a sobriety test. I had to walk a straight line with piss all over my pants at 2:00 in the afternoon. FML

Am I being detained?

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I tried to make a joke to ease the tension and said, "I’m just trying to keep up with the traffic!" The officer looked around at the empty road and said, "What traffic? Are you under the influence? HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" It went downhill from there. FML

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 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 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

Just because you're calling 911 on your cell doesn't mean you're exempt from doing something incredibly dangerous. Next time, pull over to the side of the road, call 911, and keep other people out of danger.

What the hell? Why would you dive under your seat to get it while driving? I hope they took your licence away. YDI 100%

...okay, well, all irony aside (he swerved, you thought he was drunk, you swerved, you were thought of as drunk...and you, unlike him as it seems, were pulled over) that was both an okay move and a rather...um... panic-makes-us-less-intelligent one. Using the phone while you're driving... come on, people, like anybody is going to listen to you if you say it's dangerous? It hasn't gotten them in a crash, and despite a few horror stories, it hasn't SEEMED to do much damage to anyone else (heh). Be glad he/she was decent enough to be concerned for other drivers, at the very least. Diving for it while you were driving was a little bit reckless, I have to say, even IF it landed in a place that could have put you in danger should you have need of the brakes. Use your foot to kick it out, even if you have to let up on the gas, and try and reach with your eyes on the road, if you must. Unless you're short, like me. In which case you're screwed and you should just pull over when you can. Which brings me to the next point: bridges. =/ They're dangerous pieces of shit, but it's kinda hard to just pull over on a lot of them. It would also be stupid to take your eyes off the road, but I digress... In any case... FYL, just for the sheer irony. Edit: P.S., it's rather hard to come to these logical conclusions when you're in a panic type situation. When you're IN the situation, I'm willing to bet at least 60% of you would do the exact same things, maybe in a different order.
