I'm kinda on both sides of the fence on this to be honest. I have gotten tickets that were horrible but I don't see the point in protecting others I don't know to be honest. (maybe i'm selfish like that but I don't care)
If they deserve a ticket, they should get a ticket. That isn't selfish at all.

Out of curiosity, those of you that say you would flash, do you see cops everyday on your travels...2 maybe three times in a drive of 10-15 minutes?
How many lanes do your common traveled roads have?
I usually see cops everyday driving, but not too often running speed traps. In Orlando, it was like clock work, at the end of the month when Orange County was short on quotas, they were out in force. Here in Mobile/Panhandle, it's pretty uncommon, 3 times since I've been here from June 09.
Common travel roads are either 4-6 lane Interstate 10, some divided 4-lane 45mph city roads, and 55mph 2 lane backroads.

All these yrs driving and I wondered why the heck some people are flashing their lights at me....lol
So, what's the signal in the daytime?
Learned something new.

Same thing, flashing the brights. Obviously not as effective, but you can see the cops better/they don't do as any traps during the day. For motorcycles, it's tapping your helmet.
Though as stated above it's not just for speed traps. Warning of danger ahead, that you forgot to turn your lights on, that you forgot to dim your brights.

If you obey the speed limit by no more than under 5 miles over, ( in a 45..I do 49) they don't bother you as a rule. The only people who need to SEE the cops are those who are breaking the law.

People like you make me laugh. You're such a hypocrite its not even funny. So its okay to break the law a little but not a lot and thats makes you a law abidding citizen? Get over yourself and Please shut up.
Its called a speed limit Flower. Not a hey I can go 4 or 5 over and still be okay. Dont come on here and preech yourself up acting like Ms. America never break the law and then go yeah but I speed a little its okay.
On a ticket they have a spot for 1-9 mph over the limit. Its the same fine and the same points added in most states. I have been ticketed in a few. So your 5 over in the eyes of the law is breaking the law and is just as bad as somebody 9 over. You're probably the same person who drives in the left hand lane to control peoples speed and think its okay. Well guess what there is a ticket for that as well. Its called impeding traffic. An ex girlfriend got it cause she thought it was cool to slow down traffic in the left hand lane and guess who was behind her. Jonny Law. I laughed in her face for about 3 months. Actually a worse ticket than speeding 1-9 over.
Personally I hate cops. I HATE THEM! I live and drive in one of the worse areas in the nation. DC Metro Area. They break laws worse than regular people. I have video taped a cop before and sent it into my local news. They aired and the cop got put on administrative leave. The crap she pulled. Cutting people off. Riding on their tails. Then she got out in front and did 55. A guy tried to pass doing your 5 over she pulled him over. They ride in HOV lanes during rush hour all alone. They turn on their lighst to make illegal u turns. They turn on their lights and run red lights then turn them back off once through.
So yeah I flash. Screw cops. They sit in areas where the speed limit goes from 50 to 30. They sit 20 feet inside the 30mph and just nail people left and right a sthey are slowing down. Its BS. I onky flash inside county local roads. State cops who patrol the highways I do not. That is their job and our highways are dangerous enough. I drive them everyday. Hell I hit 70 and people pass me like Im standing still.
Rant off.

Tapping the helmet started from Bikers who race up and down the roads zipping in and out of cars. They see a cop they back off tap the helmet and everybody slows down. I have nevere seen a harley guy tap his helmet for radar. Its still Flash the high beams.
