driving down mccowan last night, an oncoming car flashes his/her high driving down the street, and just down the street a popo was camping for speeders.

just wondering if this is some unwritten rule and does anyone do it?

QuiCK_TiME

i do it, and have seen a couple do to me as well. (not that i was speediing.)

good thing to watch for is the cars ahead of u all braking around the same time.

ya i think everyone just knows what the flashing headlights mean, either that or its night time and you have no lights on...then you'll get flashed to.

i never flash people to warn them i'd rather they get a ticket for speeding instead of feeling they just got lucky and once they pass the cop just continue to speed

ya its sort of an unwritten rule, but i think its illegal to do it...

In BC we do it, to warn others of a speed trap..been done for ages

I've always known about the flashing high beams thing.

All the drivers I know in person know about it. My friends, and my family.

every chance i get

cee_mon

100% true.....ILLEGAL but well worth it

Gunmetalef

i do it all the time... and ppl do it to me.. no big deall...

imported_caloge

yup i figure cops break the rules of the road more than i do so if i can help out a person, why not, and plus i do it cause i hope they would do it if i was in there position

I never do it...if someone's being a retard and speeding like a maniac they deserve to be caught for being so stupid...plus it's more laughs for me.

going 80 in a 60 at 2am on a straight 4lane street doesnt constitute speeding like a manic, IMO

I've never done it because I've never really noticed them haha. I would always see them at the last minute, so it's not even a reaction for me. I'm not a speeder, anymore, so I just follow the rules and give the police the respect they deserve. I know someone who's just about to become a cop soon, so maybe that's why I've realized the importance of their duties, and it hits home.

People have let me know, and I always appreciate it.

imported_bevboyy

Yep..especially when they're crusing around with a cell phone on their ear..

I had three people warn me of OPP on my way back to Petawawa tonight. I wasn't mad speeding ie. 100km/h in a 80km/h zone.

I do it most of time to return the favour.

illegal yeah of course

imported_gatherer

where does everyone get this fact thats it's illegal to high beam someone as a warning of whats happening ahead...

hell I do it all the time .. and if I see someone acting like an idiot I'll do it even if there is no speed trap...

madspeed_si

I do it too... just to give warnings to fellow drivers

imported_spl_civic

me too!
anyone who doesn't is an inconsiderate craphole

I don't see speed traps, and I never pay attention to any of them.
