    Won't hurt. Some will know what it means (pretty common in Texas, where most of us are doing at least 5-10 over the speed limit, including the bears.)

    We also use it for things like deer crossing, wrecks, stopped traffic etc. Either they'll get it and be glad, or they won't and be no worse for the wear.

    You are absolutely correct. But i still don't see the problem. So Mr. Smokey pulls my new rig for a random inspection. Fine, whatever, he's doing his job. Good for him. I'll take the clean inspection bonus and continue on my way. And he gets his quota met or whatever and we are all happy. Jeez some of you people act like they are the gestapo or something.

    They are the Gestapo. Not everyone gives bonuses. And it's an hour out of your day.

    There goes my planned trip for the day. Down the drain. Now i'm an hour behind schedule. And i've got NO PLACE TO PARK FOR THE NIGHT.

    Sure you can flash to warn. It is pretty standard around the USA. For the drivers that have never heard of this im a little confused I learned this when i was 8 years old. As for getting pulled over its not the getting pulled over that sucks its the time wasted of my 70 that is a problem with getting pulled over.
