Who here flashes their lights for cars coming the other direction approaching a popo speed trap?
Seems very few do it anymore. Used to when I did it people would wave in thanks. Now I’m not sure most people know what it means.

With the waze app, they knew the cop was there long before you passed them.

I vaguely remember some years ago reading about somebody actually getting criminally charged for doing this. The cops claimed that they were "interfering with a police operation" or some such BS. I don't remember how it turned out.

If someone behind me want to pass, I'll give the lefthand blinker one blink to let them know, I'm slowing down, and pulling over.

Always have done it.
If the oncoming vehicle don't know what it means they will soon enough.
Still a lot of folks that do it around here
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Guy behind, sped up around a smashed into the side of me. Told me afterwards he thought I'd put on my signal to tell him to pass. Stupidest thing I'd ever heard at the time, but apparently it's really a thing?

Used to. Don't see much in the way of speed traps around here.
The last time I flashed was to slow the other driver, but it was because there were deer all over the road and he was just about to discover them.

Around here, people will flash their lights at you if you're coming up on a wreck, or something else in the road.
I actually don't see "speed traps" much anymore.

Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Damn right I do even though I'm very vocal about backing the blue.
I just don't care for speed traps. Bastards.

Yep, but not for cars like a Prius, Tesla, or anything [bleep] Subaru.
