Do you warn oncoming drivers?

When you pass up parked fuzz, do you warn oncoming drivers so that they slow down in time by turning your headlights on and off, or some other fashion?

Vote!

I sometimes do, but never when the car is really flying. Then I hope he gets busted. :D

I never warn anyone about anything, If they're dumb enough to speed and get caught, they're dumb enough to serve the consequences.

I actually used to be like that. But in recent years, I've been spared a ticket or two by some vary courteous fellow citizens.

Including today. I was doing near 50 on a 35 when a passerby warned me. I slowed down...and around the bend up the road a bit was sitting trooper. Whew. (yeah I know...it would've been my own fault...)

I didn't even know that that was the "standard" symbol. I always thought there should be one..

Yep. And if they're dumb enough to illegally block the left lane, they're dumb enough to serve the consequences by getting their asses run off the fsckin road.

So is speeding. :p
So (in Oregon) is failing to yield the left lane to faster traffic and failing to use your turn signals. Both of those, in fact, are the legal equivalent of 20+ over the limit (minimum 2 points and $175 fine). Yet how often are those enforced? Pretty much never. My favorite are the drivers who hate speeders but never yield and never signal. I think you're one of those, Nik.

How could you possibly know that Vic? I always signal, and I always yield. I used to be the worst driver I knew. Now I'm one of the safest. :)

I drive westside everyday, my friend. I know that the drivers most adamant against speeding are also the worst on the road, always blocking traffic, never using proper safe lane discipline, and never signalling. This town has become terrible for drivers. Worst in the world IMO. Arrogant incompetence at its ugliest.
