Real Drivers Who Were Pulled Over For Completely Idiotic Reasons

6: Mistaken Identity

It is never a problem to look younger than you are, which happened to this driver when he was pulled over. He looked 12 but was 16 with his first license (via Reddit).

The cop pulled him over for joyriding only to realize that everything checked out. He was let go without a ticket and the two had a good laugh after the stop.

5: Speeding Next To A Trooper

Sometimes you get caught red-handed in the act and that is what happened to this driver. He sped up to pass up a car until he realized it was a state trooper (via Reddit).

The driver got pulled over and clocked at 88 MPH, he took his ticket in stride. The trooper wasn’t thrilled with what had happened, but he let the driver go after that.

4: Out Of Date Tags

One of the most common things that you’ll get pulled over for is expired tags, but this driver took things a bit further. He sped off in front of the police officer and got pulled over immediately (via Reddit).

The driver had the new tags ready he just hadn’t installed them yet. The officer said to do it when he gets home and sent him on his way. This was not a bad experience.

3: A Chevy Celebrity With Power?

You probably will never equate a Chevy celebrity to something that has performance, but that is what happened when this driver got pulled over in his (via Reddit).

The police officer said he pulled out of the parking lot going pretty fast. You’d probably never equate a Celebrity with a car that could go fast but he got a ticket nonetheless.

2: Going Too Slow

You can get pulled over for going too slow as that’s exactly what happened to this driver. He was pulled over for going too fast and then too slow at the same time. The car of choice was a Peugeot 505, which is not the most exciting car on the road (via Reddit).

The officer gave him a ticket for driving over the speed limit although he was trying to show off how slow the car was to his friend. The lesson of the story is not to show off to passengers.

1: Rookie Error

One of the worst things a driver can do is forget to turn your lights on when you are driving. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to this driver. He got a coffee and filled up his tank only to take off down the road (via Reddit).

You can get pulled over for not turning on your headlights when it is raining or there are questionable weather conditions outside. The ticket he got was not his proudest moment, to say the least.
