Do you flash your lights?

[diannescruffy]

To warn others of police doing radar? Personally I don't, if you are caught speeding you need to pay the price.

ummm no...it's illegal....and irritating if you're the poor copper trying to do their job

[Charlotte91]

.....yes. But we NEVER speed. No need to!
But, we usually only flash to warn drivers about cattle/sheep/kangeroos on the road.

Safety people!

[diannescruffy]

Totally agree, this morning I had a lady behind me and she kept on flashing, went on for about 10min, in the end I pulled over because I thought maybe there was something wrong with my car and she was trying to let me know. Total PITA.

It is illegal and if you are caught, you will be fined.

[berrme]

No. If people are speeding then they can get caught.
I always wonder how radio stations can get away with telling listeners where the speed traps are.

[Olive]

no never!

Never flash to warn of cops ahead but I will flash (once) if there is an accident etc. I drive country highways a lot and when people flash at me it's most likely some kind of accident ahead rather than police so it's kind of what's done round here. I will also flash my lights (or high beams at night) once to let a truck know they've passed me and it's safe to move over, although that doesn't happen much in our current car.

DH is a truck driver, and you will be amazed at all the little signal etc they can give eachother, they have their own whole language!!

So I do 'comunicate' with trucks, flash warnings if there is something they should know about up ahead (eg, roos or livestock on the road etc) and do the thankyou when i over take them etc..

DH gets cranky when I dont do it!! he thinks its rude not too!

[~me~]

No and as you have explained, it's a royal PIA and other's have explained it's illegal.

Speeders deserve every fine they get IMO, especially on the stretch of freeway I travel on, they are aggressive drivers and tail you even if you are doing the speed limit.

[ElleJay]

I don't for speed cameras. I do, however, flash people that keep their high beams on when your CLEARLY coming towards them

No I don't. I find it confusing as well, I often wonder what is wrong with the car when I think someone is flashing at me. Country here as well and I would much rather any flashing headlights are to warn of real hazards.

[[M]umma[M]ia]

Depends on the situation. But yes, I have been known to.. as long as there is no one in front of me. I like to look out for the truckies aswell and use my thankyou lights

[Marley&Me]

Yes to drivers in areas that I think the speed limit is too low. No to the idiot P-plater hooning down the road

[Ashlee]

I'm too scared of getting caught doing it as I'm on my P's, but think it's courteous when others flash me about a speed camera up ahead. I realise it's illegal, but sometimes the placement of said speed camera is illegal also, like at the bottom of a hill!

[Kazzo]

Like most of the PP I don't for police. If your in the wrong then a fine is the consequence. I have on occasion flashed because of an accident (We have on section of bendy road that there is always an accident if it rains) or their have been roos on the road.

DH was actually flashed by a police car for going a little to fast in a roadwork zone. Naughty police man, I doubt he fined himself for it though

[Glamourcide]

I do, and I'm always grateful when someone flashes me to let me know there's a copper up ahead. I don't speed excessively, but I do drive at about 10/15k over on clear highways when the weather's good. If I get a fine, I deal with it, but I consider it a common courtesy to warn other drivers if there's a speed camera in the area, especially if it's a poorly placed one (like at the bottom of a hill or at the end of a huge straight where it's natural for drivers to be a couple of km's over the limit). I know where most of the dodgy spots around here are anyway and tend to keep an eye on the speedo when I go through them.

No. I flash my lights if it's a narrow street and I'm letting the oncoming car go first. That's about it.
