Do You Warn Oncoming Drivers?

[thekidd]

I've been flashed/warned a few times about speed cameras ahead. I've never remembered to return the favour though.

[Char]

Just yesterday had some car pull in behind me down the fwy and start going nuts flashing his lights, needless to say I crapped my dax thinking my car was on fire or something, turns out he was just flashing the other side of the road about a speed camera.

Seriously, I hate when ppl do that in excess, or when they are right behind me etc.

[hamiltonau]

it is pretty lame to do it for a speed camera if its there all the time, a bit more sensible if one of those random short time vans but still...not while your right up someones ass.

Cops? Nope, don't flash. They're just doing their job. Positive reinforcement I think.

Speed camera with some fat slob sitting there. You bet. That's Australian.

Don't want some poor ba$tard getting a ticket for doing 64 in a 60 zone do we?

what about someone doing 84 in a 60 zone?

[hamiltonau]

if its an empty long wide ass road that could easily be an 80 zone or higher? yup i will flash away.

I don't know. These days guessing everyone elses speed isn't really my business. I'm too busy trying to guess my speed and the F&*Kwit in front of me.

Can you tell if they are doing 84 in a 60 zone? I don't think I could.

[-NightFaLL]

Yeah i always Flash my highs, Been pulled over once by a UC typhoon 350 dollar fine for doing it.

i got warned going into a secluded street in the middle of nowhere out back of austral yesterday, sure enough over the hump there was a highway patrol sitting in someones driveway doing radar, so i cruise by, as i get out of what i thought was range of view see an oncoming bus and a few cars give them a flash to let them know each one aknowledged and gave me a wave of a thumbs up, although the bus might have got me in trouble for flashing back lol,

the faster people are going the faster I will flash, you wouldn't want then to miss it.

[mad082]

another thing that shits me off about flashing, you will get people that will flash for kms after the speed camera/police location. that's fine, until you are in a line of traffic with some overly cautious dimwit at the front that then decides to sit 15km/h under the speed limit for the next few kms 'just to be safe'.

this would be the reason most people dont flash.

I've been past a few mobile cameras, and dont recall anyone flashing oncoming cars

What a lot of ppl don't think about is that when you flash your lights, your taillights flash as well!!! So if your still within visible range of the popo, they can chase you and get right nasty.

I don't flash on the main highways [Hume, Princess, Pacific, Sturt, Calder etc] cos you'd have to be a first class unit to speed on them roads, cops, speed camera's and the Macquarie Bank reps are everywhere. I do flash when its on the back or byroads becasue you never ever expect radar on them. But I only flash when I'm out of sight/around the corner to the cops.

And I'm also a bit selective, motorbikes and trucks, normal cars are kewl, but high rollers and late model commodores/falcons [could be cop cars] are out.

I dont know any car that has the tail lights come on when you flash...they are wired to the parking light switch not the high beams

trucks (especially semi's) will already know where the speed cameras and radars are. as for late model commodores/falcons, you need to expand your range. in gympie the cops also had a silver VW golf and a black lancer/evo as well as a few camrys/avalons.

[hamiltonau]

do they seriously have a pucka EVO 10 as an undercover car in Gympie? thats pretty boss.

See the sense in your approach to flashing Trident but whats up with getting fined for it, very uncool and im sure it wouldnt be hard for a decent lawyer or even just a well spoken defendant to overturn it in court. Pretty sure it woudl be unconstitutional in the US to have a law like that, they are also getting rid of their speed cameras over there. .and raising speed limits in a lot of states.

51st state? yes please...

I've noticed the decrease in other people warning on coming traffic about speed cameras/coppers hiding in bushes.

Last time I got a warning flash from a Golf R on Leech highway about a mobile speed camera was about a year ago.

That road seem to have a camera of some sort at every major intersection...
