Get a ticket for flashing your high beams to on coming cars to warn them a cop is ahead?

**Smak** · 08-21-2006, 10:11 PM

I wouldn't think so unless you did it to a cop.

**collar** · 08-21-2006, 10:26 PM

hmmm no idea, thats an interesting question.
to warn them of cops possibly yes you will.

**Beefyman** · 08-21-2006, 10:34 PM

i did so and got pulled over from a cop coming the other way... just told me "i seen your lights flashing like crazy. Are you stupid" blah blah blah told me not to do that it can cause a distraction for on coming traffic anyway i was let off with a warning for some BS

it's called the "warning others there's a big fat a$s with a jelly donut in one hand radar in the other hiding in the bushes law"

**zimmy** · 08-22-2006, 01:32 AM

there is always hendering a police investigation...but mostly no, it's not against the law and even if they did site you for it, they'd have a very hard time proving that was the reason you were flashing or that you even were considering most cars have flux in there beams anyway.

i would think u could - interference of justice

yeah technically..but like zimmy said..how could they prove it. Its not like speeding where they can just point to the radar and show you the speed limit sign..

LOL.

I doubt they could actually ticket you. You could always say you thought their high beams were on and their lights were blinding you and you were signalling for them to shut them off.

Also, to interfere with justice, they would have to prove you were preventing them from stopping a lawbreaker. How can they prove the people you flashed were speeding and breaking the law?

**rar1015** · 08-22-2006, 08:28 AM

I have actually heard that you can.

**bor** · 08-22-2006, 08:28 AM

THere is a law against it in Australia and they are pretty strict about it

i dunno, but as long as people keep warning me about coppers i'll keep returning the favor..

**SMYL_GR8** · 08-22-2006, 08:36 AM

Isn't the law that you can't have high beams on with any oncoming cars within 500 feet and same-way cars within 300 feet? So, I guess flashing them with cars within those ranges can be ticketed.

Just buy a Valentine 1 and fuhgedabowdit!
