Do you flash your high beams for oncoming traffic if you see a cop camping out?

Of course it's illegal but...

If you see a cop camping out clocking people, do you flash your high beams at oncoming traffic to alert them, or do you say "You're on your own"
 
Usually only on an interstate, because on a normal road that can be a sign that you think the other driver's high beams are on. And I hate when I get flashed and my high beams are not on.
 
During the day I will just flash my lights on and off. But I don't think most people know what it means. I have gotten the finger a few times for my trouble.
 
If I were out in the country with very few cars around, I'd flash the lights. But I'm never out with few cars around... :|

Fsck no, I never understood why people do this.

Just drive ~5MPH speed limit and you should be ok.

I once had a friend get stopped for doing 3MPH over 35 in the city DOWN A HILL:|
 
I've never done it and probably would misinterpret it if someone did it to me.

However, I will flash my highbeams if I'm in the fast lane and want a slow moving car to move over (which works sometimes, although it works better outside of Seattle for some reason).

DO they have highways in Orgeon? 😀

Lots of them. And the speed limit is 55MPH for most of the interstate in the metro area. Who the fvck goes 55-60MPH on the interstate (sorry if I offended any grannies out there).

EDIT: EVERYONE (local tv, newspapers, lawmakers, police, even our deparment of transportation) KNOWS that the average speed of traffic (from scientific studies) is near 70MPH on our interstate highways.

Guess why they keep the *official* limit at 55MPH? To line the fvckin' pigs coffers.

Thankfully, the interstates are 65MPH and 70MPH in some areas (btw Raleigh & Wilmington on I40 and btw Greensboro and Salsibury on I85) here in NC

I didn't but then some guy's highbeaming saved me from a potentially large ticket, so now I do.
During the day I flash my highbeams, at night I switch my lights to running lights then put them back on for the same effect. Highbeams at night = d!ck move.

How is a cop supposed to approach a car who's doing 3 MPH over? Thats ridiculous. "You know how fast you were going?" Just seems like a laughable situation. Did he get a ticket?

hehe... 55 must suck. It is 65 in Ohio, and everyone goes 75-80 or more. But..... that's a different thread that has been talked about 1000's of times on here 😀
