Today, I was speeding a little on the highway. I thought I saw a police car, so I slammed on my brakes, causing the person behind me to rear end me. The "police car" I saw was just a broken down car on the side of the road. FML

If you had to slam on the brakes to get down to the speed limit before the "cop" saw, chances are you were not speeding "a little."

dumb that you think u should slam the brakes on the highway

and this is reason 5,689,536,004 why idiots should not drive. speeding rule 1 - if your speeding "a little" and wish to slow down - don't use the brakes. your lights come on telling everyone you are retarded. let off the gas and shift out of overdrive instead.

I don't get why this is a fml - in most states if someone rearends you it is there fault automatically regardless if you had to slam on your brakes because they are following too closely. YDI if you accepted guilt in the accident because it was technically the other person's fault.

I think it's both their faults. Agreed, I don't think this is an FML moment; I think it's a YDI. OP was driving too fast and slammed on the breaks. Bad idea. But, the car behind must have been following too closely. Therefore, it's both.

YDI 1st. Shouldn't have been speeding. 2nd. YDI for slamming on the brakes when you could've slowed down in a safer and more catious way.

OP, you are a moron who doesn't know how to safely drive. Anyone who slams on their brakes causes a huge hazard on the road. Stop driving please. The rest of us will be thankful.

Next time if you think you see a cop, ease off the gas to slow down. don't slam on the breaks because that just proves you were speeding. Ydi

I counted four people that wrote smart ass comments and used the word "breaks" I'm pretty sure it is spelled "brakes"

if you saw the cop, he saw you first. braking does nothing but prove your guilt. this isn't an fml because you're lucky it wasn't a cop.
