Do you still Flash?

**The Tazman** · 18th May 2005, 15:52

I have noticed that not so many people these days flash on-coming trafic to warn them of police or cameras that they will soon be coming up to.

I have always done it and am very pleased when people do it to warn me. Just wondered what the general opinion is amongst all of the good folk on KB

I admit to being a bit two-faced on this.. I try not to be, but can't really help it.
I'm thankful when people flash me to warn, but then I sometimes don't flash for other cars. But (before the pitch forks come out), only if they look like they're doing a stupid speed or boy racers/fukwits who deserve to be caught.. Always flash other bikes. And cars if they 'look' ok..

Like a bloody christmas tree. Except boy-racer cars, 4WD's, cops.

Flash for all bikes, Flash for people that are speeding abit over the limit - because a speeding cage is fucken more dangerous than a bike. (by speeding I mean 150+ not 110/120/130)

Good to see the poll has a good majority doing it.
I always appreciate having the warning.

I flash most of the time, I dont' like flashing boy racers and nutters on the road. Definitely flash bikes and the greater majority of cars.

Always wondered why people kept flashing at me. Don't drive with brights on ever so not that. Hmm interesting.

I consider myself quite the flasher

I flash most of the time when I'm driving a cage but rarely flash when I was on a bike

I still see it happening alot, sometimes I partake and sometimes I don't. What I really hate is when some punter flashes his lights at you, causing *mild paranoia* if you're riding/driving over the limit, and then there turns out to be no cop or camera further up the road!

always ........

**Skyryder** · 18th May 2005, 19:45

Yep flash all the time. If I can save someone a dollar so be it. But on the other hand if I see some hoon driving like a maniac and I get his number sure as little green men living on the moon he will be getting a letter from Mr Plod about his/her driving.

Same. There is so many cameras around these days it gets a bit monotonous. If it is in and around town where you shouldnt be speeding I am less likely to flash - miles from anywhere always flash.

I know a cop that does that when he is off duty/in his own car, to get people to slow down.
