I do it all the time but rarely ever see other people do it to me.

If somebody's speeding they know it's illegal. Let them figure it out.

"Keep up the flash!" I want to say I've even seen a bumper sticker with that on it. I try to every time I see one, and always wave a vigorous thanks every time someone does it for me.



Just saw a HUGE police trap in IL on my way back from shooting a wedding last weekend in Iowa. First we passed 2 cops sitting on the side of the road. "That's weird." Then there were 3 people pulled over on my side of the road, each with a police car behind it. "Ok, something's going down." Then coming the other direction, there were 4 cars already pulled over, and 1 car getting chased down as we passed by. "OW!" Then there were 3 more cops sitting on the side of the oncoming traffic, ready and waiting. Then I passed a bridge, and saw a dude in a white shirt, and I assume a radar gun. Hide one guy on a bridge calling out to his teammates who was speeding along. "$%#%^@^$*%#&%^%#$%**&$!~%&$~" I think the IL police were in desparate need of money and decided it'd be cool to take it out on their motorists. Ticks me off so hard. Yes, I will flash every time I pass a cop.

I don't anymore because it is illegal here i don't know if it is everywhere, with my luck I would flash another cop. Can't even do it for idiots that don't turn off their brights.

Used to, but I know cops "can" but don't always give tickets for flashing high beams for no reason.
