I will flash my lights for a hazard. Cops, no way. The way folks drive these days a few of them deserve a ticket or 2.
Sunshinethingy, spyder7723, bzinger and 4 others Thank this. -
I don't flash anymore - got a warning in my personal vehicle in 2011. Flashed my highbeams to warn others about a cop in 30mph zone. What I did'nt know at the time that there was another cop that I flashed at. He was in unmarked ford explorer. He turned around, stopped me and gave me a writtnen warning for " improper headlight use".
He was nice and was glad it was only a warning.bzinger and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
I thought that was the universal signal for there is a hazard, ie smokey, a bear, a mounty or other hazards such as a wreck. I warn people all the time. It is only fair.

Flashing your bright lights. Never. Turn them off and on,to warn of an accident or if a cop has someone pulled over, not if the cop is watching traffic.
Use flashers instead of flashing headlights.Last edited: May 23, 2017

I get on the cb and flash the lights on a divided highway. I cancel them on an undivided highway or to signal a person who is trying to pass me.

Flashing high beams can mean many things by the executing driver but leave the other driver unsure. I don't warn people about cops. My thought is if they get a citation for speeding they probably deserved it. We used to have a thing called "respect" and " comaraderie" among us drivers but those days are long gone. Everyone is in a hurry and into themselves these days and most drivers don't give a hoot about you or your intentions.
It was a different world in 1980.Last edited: May 24, 2017
