the article explains it poorly. It's not a free speech issue, they just used the wrong citation. In many states, there is actually a statute they can cite you for (it varies from state to state). In california for instance, it is illegal to flash your lights on a multi-lane highway (regardless of reason). In VA, they will commonly ticket for "failure to dim headlights," which is a bit of a stretch, but it generally holds up in court.
