I do, even if the cop can still see me. I always try my best to let folks know there is a traffic cop around.
i always forget to :( but i REALLY appreciate when others do it for me.
i’lll try to remember next time!!!
I do it when i remember and if im out of range of the cop (im pretty sure you can get pulled over if he sees you doing that judochop)
I am sure the cop could find a reason to pull me over but it’s not against the law to flash your headlights.
hmm it may go depending on state but im almost certain it is here in NJ
I do….and out of range of Johnny Law, too.
I have, in the past, and always appreciated it when it was done for me. These days, though, I never pass a speed trap unless I’m on the highway. Flashing my lights is not so effective over a huge median and 6 lanes of traffic!
always, its like a remote good Sumeritan (sp?) for your fellow road warriors. sometimes, you get an acknowledge flash or thumbs up, especially from truckers.
I don’t think people get it in the city,but away from metropolitan areas and on the road it is more understood so my answer would be:In city NO/On the road YES.
