Pfft.

I drive down the road flashing my cars headlights willy-nilly, 'warning' oncoming motorists of cops in the area.

Even when I know there's none in the area.

I get a lot of grateful waves from the other drivers when they slow down and go by .

Suckers.

If he was genuinely concerned about the speed trap causing accidents why was this not reported to Police or the road controling authority in the first instance?
There is a correct procedure to have concerns addressed surely, without taking the law into your own hands or back chatting Police who are only following orders?

funniest and looks like the most quoted too.....he's a bit of gem is that Scummy and I've not had the pleasure of meeting him but I'm sure it would be interesting.

I think it was on KB I read of the same thing happening. Explanation was that the rider/driver flashed because they thought the other vehicle was going too fast, and the fact that he had just seen a speed camera indicated that it was an area with a high crash rate (Tui), so really he was doing his bit for road safety by warning the other vehicle of being on a 'dangerous' section of road and to watch their speed. Had to laugh, but I don't think you can argue with it.

[piston broke]

i will flash lights if,

i see someone in there riceburner driving like an idiot,even if there is no cop.

otherwise only bikers,holden or ford drivers,if there is a cop,and they may be just borderline speed.

hypocrite,hell yes.
