yes basically it almost always backfires... if they are women, you are a creep/ if they are old people, you are a thief, and if its just random dude, you are a scam... I gave up a long time ago lol

I've always thought the signal was to turn your lights off and on a few times vs. flashing high beams if you're warning oncoming drivers of a speed trap.

Flashing high beams is to tell the oncoming driver his high beams are on, no?

Let's get this stuff straight fellas!

Only problem with the Darwin principle here is that the person they take out may or may not be worthy of ending up in the sludge drain along with them...

my understanding was you can get a ticket for flashing to warn of a cop as an obstruction

Wait... I thought the middle finger was to tell them they had their high beams on... or a Giant Slurpee out the window onto their hood? No? #watchutryintosay

Under 18 stone, yes. Years? Not by a long shot.

Did I state something to suggest I'm a juvenile?

2> in the UK, you can get a ticket for interfering or obstruction of justice or something similar

but yep I do, and also have been thankful for them that have to me
I used to do it as well, until I received a traffic ticket from a Texas State Trooper for flashing my lights.

Yes but Waze doesn't work in low signal areas....in fact got a ticket two days ago driving North of College Station in a speed trap before a small town. Waze was offline.
Radar, Waze, flashing lights, dude going faster than you in front, need as much tools as possible.

That's ok - we expect that. You're a musician, after all.

HAHAHA... sorry. I kid. I have mad respect for musicians - especially people who can do strings. I was a woodwind back in the day, but don't play anymore because... well... I graduated. heh. You have a genre you specialize in - or a particular instrument?
