Speed Trap Flashing..

KillerBee370 · 08-28-2011, 10:42 AM

The cops around my neighborhood sit in complete blackout on dark streets with the radar box attached to their car. I think a cop is supposed to have at least the parking lamps on while performing their "duties" as it were.

Anyway, my V1 always picks it up well in advance (saved me 3 times this month alone) and when I get to where the cop is hiding I hit the brights and light them up until I pass. Screw them. They are creating more of a hazard by sitting blacked out.

And yes I always warn other drivers if I can as well as utilize a "rabbit" if someone happens to be scooting pretty good.

I don't flash. I don't care about other people. They shouldn't be speeding and I'm not an enabler.

There are a few places where the cops always sit... and I always make overly sure to not go over the limit at all... and in those zones, people pass me, etc. I do not flash anything there.

I do however appreciate when people flash me at other times for unexpected areas. But i sorta feel like this... why enable speeders (even if I am one sometimes..)?

Whenever I see a cop speeding without lights on, I assume there's a blue-light special at Dunkin Donuts that expires in 10 minutes.

Where I used to live I would warn my neighbors (2 lane road where the local sheriff would always set up a speed trap) because they would always do the same for me.

There is a portion of the road on my way to work where cops like to hang out. If I see a nice car coming the other way sometimes I will flash my lights, but other times I will just let them speed on to their merry way to a ticket. If it's a ricer car I just let them go. Something worth my time like a Z, fellow Mustang, Ferrari, etc, I will warn.

I generally warn people. Hasn't been an issue yet, but I'm glad I read this in case it ever does become an issue.

On rural roads sometimes but in my local area no. When cops are full of income from citations they are happy and nice to the neighborhood.

If I warn folks that there's a cop around the bend then there is a better chance of that cop catching less people on the roads I commute on. Statistically, I have to.
