Today, I was pulled over for going the wrong way on a closed highway. The construction signs pointed me in that direction, and the cop agreed that they should be fixed. Did it stop him from giving me a ticket anyway? Nope. FML

Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. FML

Today, a cop pulled me over because there was a sign hidden behind a tree that said "No left turn". As I was getting my ticket, I watched as three cars turned left. The cop saw them, laughed, and said, "I guess you're the unlucky one." FML

Today, I learned that making an illegal U-turn right after you see a cop doing one will not stop said cop from ticketing you. FML

Today, I got pulled over on the highway for going over the speed limit. The cop seemed nice, and I was sure he'd let me off with a warning, until my husband piped up with, "Didn't think you folks came out this far. What, the donut store got shut down or some shit?" I got the ticket. FML

Today, I was driving down a completely empty street when a cop pulled me over for no reason at all. When he approached my window, I began to get defensive until he informed me I was driving the wrong way down a one way street. FML

Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML

Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML

Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML

Today I got a ticket for driving on the wrong side of the road. It was a one-way street. FML

Did the fact that you were driving on the left side of the road not occur to you?

Sometimes when one side of the highway is shut down, the other side turns into a normal two way street. It probably did occur to them, but if half of the highway is shut down and the signs are pointing to the other side... They were following the signs.

If you take it to court, it will cost you the same amount of money missing work. Just pay it. I had a ticket that wasn't mine I paid it anyway. To miss work wasn't worth it. It was photo radar. I wasn't driving! In fact it was the plate off my trailer they caught. I don't own a truck to pull it!

"But... there was a sign.. pointing me this way... that sign right there, lead me here.. So, I'm just following the road signs." You'd think the construction worker would be liable.. unless there was a way to avoid it, if the only way was on the other side they would have some sort of stop and go director for the cars going in each direction.. So idk
