Flashers

There are lots of cages that flash on coming vehicles I know, either to warn about hazards or coppers, or just on purpose to make you slow down...

What ticks me off is doing 100k in a 100k zone and an on coming driver doing clearly less than 100 flashes you to TRY and make you slow down.... At least that was my conclusion; no copper, speed camera or hazard. You just flashed me for no reason because you can't drive a car at 100.... That is not my fault (and I didn't slow down)....

Rant over. Thanks for reading.

If you doing 100 in a 100 zone then why slow down?

Ok, some people just seem to think that they are the law,or just have problems with bikes or just fucked in the head.Can understand people are flashing to warn of some accident of stock on the road or some other hazard, but some people are just anal.Fact of life.Does piss you off though if your in your grove cruising at 140/160 and some bastard flashes and ya haul on the picks,and sorta lose your mojo for a bit and theres nothing there.

If nothing else, is your headlight set too high? are you riding with high beam on? just a thought.

**Chooky** · 24th May 2011, 22:44

Yer I flash at bikes that run with the light on high beam...

Perhaps the OP is one?

Drivers flash for all sorts of reasons. Many's the time I've been flashed and there has been nary a sight of anything seemingly worthy of it. I don't give it a second thought other than using it as a reminder to keep my eyes peeled and every now and again on my speedo...
