i've been wondering about this for a while actually, when you guys pass a radar trap on the opposite lane, do the double flash the on coming traffic the warn them about the radar traps? i dunno, it makes me feel better knowing a made a difference in someones life by warning them lol... tell me ur opinions guys. Should do that? or just let them fall right in the trap?

lol ty guys for your inputs

i would say warn them, ppl warns me all the time, even tho i drive good, ppl still flash and let me know that there is a trap etc.

but i have hids and i dont wana flash or turn them on/off instently. so i just flash my fog lights

Nope. If they're speeding, then they deserve to get tagged.

Xscorpio

no, ppl just flash to tell doesnt matter if you are speeding or not. i guess ppl are just nice in east end

my buddy flashed one time and another cop saw him do it and pulled him over and hasseled him for it.. I dunno if its illegal or not, he didn't get a ticket, just had to put up with their bull**** for a bit..

iam_immigrant

i do or always try to

imported_gatherer

nope ..

only times I use high beam flashing:

person has their lights off

country road and person does switch to low beams when coming close to me.

if they are speeding they deserve to get caught.

and since my eyes have a hard time switching from light to dark I HATE it when peopel flash their high beams at me... I'd rather be caught and pay a ticket .. I can pay the price so what does it matter to you if I speed.. (of course now that I ride a bicycle to work speeding is hard)

i always do i even do it when theres a cop trailing behind me "rule of the road"

Xscorpio

yea def, "rule of the road"

imported_2join performance

I do it all the time. It's the polish thing to do. I used to watch all my family do it back home when I was young, so I do it too.

imported_Green_Goblin

well...Im on the fence for this one.

I'd appreciate it if someone warned me and thats why I would warn others. I mean Im not a speeder but with modded cars you dont alwayz need a reason to get pulled over. Even if they dont write u up they can still stop u.

But the downside is that if you flash and a cop sees you, then you can get into **** for it, but I say that the best lie is that you were telling someone to turn on their lights (if its night) otherwise if its day then your screwed.

So to be on a safer side I think I just dont flash at all, unless I really feel helpful that day.

imported_LancerX

lol "rule of the road" <--- i like that

yea, but for a excuse, you can say that u hit a bum or 2 on the road... lol

thx guys

Xscorpio

lol i know hit the bump, or i always do it with fog light. i can be i hit the fog light button, which is mounted right nest to my steering wheel.

imported_CRXXX

i think everyone should flash there lights when theres a radar trap i dont see why some people dont? just sounds like the right thing too do those cops dont need anymore money...

tanjian

I always do, and appreciate it when other's warn me.

I believe speed traps are just government mandated cash grabs that catch mostly people who are good drivers.

I don't speed, and the 2 times I've been caught was because I was just keeping up with traffic flow.

I usually warn others of speed traps, especially if the speed trap I am warning about was previously pointed out to me by another person. I would say that a person warning me has saved me from maybe 2 minor speeding tickets possibly. However, if I see a guy really pushing the limit then I just let him fly right through and then look in my rearview to see if he gets caught Otherwise I am never really worried about flashing people and getting caught. I honestly don't think there is a road rule that prevents anyone from doing this, and if there is then I am sure you could easily get it dropped in court. Curious to see if there actually is a rule

imported_Moe_Mentum

I would just like to add, there's a difference between catching speeders and setting up "speed traps". I know catching speeders makes the road safer, and heck that's great and everything. But speed traps fall into the category of being setup in those annoying area right when the speed limit changes, or when your going downhill and tend to go a little more over the speed limit. In these cases these are just cash grabs, that's just my opinion though. If a cop catches anyone recklessly speeding then fine, I have nothing against that.

imported_BlazeInEk

I always do. Makes me feel good to know that I have prevented someone from paying for a stupid speeding ticket. I love it when people warn me. I just did it yesterday and a guy in a truck waved a thanks

Cynikal.Mindset

perhaps one of the dumber things said this month...drive the speed limit and you're good, no need to worry these traps dont set you up, you're setting yourself up...if u get caught thats your fault and deserve it

I find it hard to flash the lights even if you want to. Usually cops hide so that people who see them coming the other way have no way of warning someone who could get stopped by the cop.
