Had a few cars flash me today to which I waved and flashed back. I made sure I stuck on the limit, popped up over a hill and there was old smokey pointing his nerf gun at me. I swear the look on his face was like "but that guys driving a Skyline and I should've got him but..."

Sorry Smokey, No Double Demerits for me! :nyaanyaa:

thought this relevant and another reason why i flash oncoming drivers, they are only hiding behind the next hill/tree/port-a-loo for one reason and one reason only..

spotted this and thought it relevant

http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/speed-trap-warning-ok-to-flash-lights-says-us-judge-20120525-1z8lr.html

pity its an American driver who got let off. Interesting to note your not in trouble here for warning people just 'improper use of high beams'

Con's -

It's illegal.

It may slow a speeding driver. Big deal. It also warns every other crim on the road what is ahead. What if the next car you flash is the drunk or stoned driver, or the stolen car, or the uninsured driver that goes on to hit you, a friend or family.

Stop being so dramatic.

Shouldn't be speeding in the first place :P, now seriously i'll give a freindly warning to other cars as long as its not an RBT or a over the top sneaky highway patrol.. if your dumb enough not to see them then f**k ya in my oppinion but f**k these mobile speed revenue raising f**ks off. I always give the dream boats the finger as I drive past f**king f**kers.

Apparently my sister got pulled over for "flashing lights dangerously at oncoming traffic" she was only warned, but in saying that i don't know the full story but it sounds like absolute garbage to me.

I will always flash, eg: Me and my mate were bothing cruising when he decided to punch it (on a road where cops notoriously park and get the old speed camera out) i saw the cop parked up the road and flashed my mate and he slowed right down. Saved his life!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
