I do it all the time but theres only a select few who do it. most of the time people aren’t paying attention. I think that some people think its illegal to warn other drivers…but there’s nothing illegal about “just checking to see if my highbeams work” EDIT- WTF…quit complaining…you have a V1. You don’t need people to warn you. :bloated: ---

i still do it when i dont have a chance of getting shit for it and the cop is hiding pretty well. ive heard of someone being pulled over on the 90 by a trooper for it. i guess the cop said he could be fined for obstruction of justice? not really sure how true that is though… ---

I do believe that technically a cop can write you a ticket for warning traffic of his/her location…of course you can fight it in court if that happened…but I’m assuming the cop would win if a: you were in a well lit area and really had no reason to be testing or turning on your brights b: its daytime and I do this religiously in the town I live in…the cops love to sit in a couple spots…on one side I like to warn people but on the other hand its like “if your speeding here your an idiot, unless you are from out of town” -Cheater- ---

i remember reading there was a case where the cop gave someone a ticket for warning other drivers of his spot. The drive won because it isnt an obstruction of justice. And this past summer i had someone in a new gto flash his lights and warn me about cops on the 33. Pontiac V8s looking out for each other :tup: ---
