Time for a POLL
 
Lets do a poll to see how many fellow drivers help other drivers by blinking their high beams to alert other drivers of cops hiding around the corner:thumbup:

I do flash high-beams to opposing traffic to warn of a speed-checking police officer, provided that prevailing road and traffic conditions permit. (I won't high-beam if there is a car right in front of me that might interpret my actions as aggression)

nupe10123 08-06-2007 02:47 PM

I do and appreciate it when other drivers do it for me.

dr.jay 08-06-2007 02:52 PM

I always do it!!!

motordavid 08-06-2007 02:56 PM

I do, on freeways and big two lanes...

I suspect the "avg driver" rarely sees my flash
or, notices. They all busy with IMs, cell phones,
watching TV, Crackberries, et al.

cmyX6go 08-06-2007 02:59 PM

I do it on the interstates and the like. I agree with MD, most people other than the truck drivers probably have no clue or are too preoccupied to take notice.

haigha 08-06-2007 03:01 PM

Depends on the situation as others have noted. But, I do do it on occasion :thumbup:

noncom23 08-06-2007 04:25 PM

Usu always if possible.

rebound 08-06-2007 05:02 PM

Concur - if safe/possible, I do.

alexz 08-06-2007 05:03 PM

Wish there were many many more people like you guys on the roads
:)

trueX5er 08-06-2007 06:30 PM

nobody ever does that here. Usually a flash of the highbeams means "turn your highbeams off, buddy!" So no, I don't do it. :)

I used to, a long time ago. It's not worth getting a ticket myself now, I let them get caught. I have often seen a radar trap in one direction, and a cruiser going the other way picking off those warning of the radar. While you can fight a ticket for interfering with a police officer, it just isn't worth the trouble IMO.
