Do you still Flash?

[StoneChucker]

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.

And thats the point, alot of cops don't actually WANT to give you a ticket, they want you to slow the feck down. (However stupid and repetitive you think it is, speed does kill). Thats also why most cops endorse radar detectors, as they tend to slow drivers down.

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with flashing SOME cars and not others. I flash everyone when I see a possible trap. Just like I'd like to be flashed by a boy racer if HE/SHE see's a trap coming my way. I don't care who saves me a ticket, I'll take it

JUST for the record, I don't normally speed. When I do, it's on my bike which is on the weekends the majority of the time (out in the quite roads like ).

Hmmm...if you didn't ride on these "quiet roads" and do the occasional track day I'd certainly question why on earth you would buy one of the fastest most powerful motorcycles in the world??

Good on you for restraining yourself from speeding SC...most of the time anyway.

must agree its good to get a warning that there is a speed trap ahead, makes you look at your speedo anyway, and likewise i do the same to others, but is it a traffic offence to warn oncomming motorists? anyone know for sure?

I flash on a regular basis, I have the pvc raincoat, and a park that has lots of old ladies walking through it nearby.

But what would be the point? Isn't the whole purpose of flashing to warn them so they slow down??

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

erm - by speeding I mean 150+ not 110/120...

Flash for all bikes, Flash for people that arent speeding - and dont look like tosers. (go get botox fool! )

Sorry ,I don't get the logic of flashing non speeders

For other bikes sometimes wave the finger in the air.

Bit of a bugger flashing in my bike though - it doesn't have a passing switch, only hi/lo.

I gotta say the shock therapy seems to be working....

Yes - I also dangle my genitalia in the face of oncoming traffic, irrespective of what vehicle it is. I'm not fussy ya see. That was the question - right?

As for speeding - I don't do drugs. Often.

[StoneChucker]

Flashing is perfectly legal. Well, your lights that is

[T.W.R]

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!

That does happen, but remember some flash you coz theres a cop travelling the same direction as you!. Truck drivers are a good indicator of were plod may be hiding (some truckies are a bikers best friend on the open road).

[DMNTD:Me]

...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..

Totally agree on this but do consider myself a flash fulla
