Flash Headlights Against Fuzz

I have some good memories of riding in the car with my father on back country roads of Iowa and even Interstates where, after seeing a highway patrol staked under a bridge or behind a billboard, he would flash oncoming drivers in an attempt to warn them of the fuzz.  What happened to that practice?  As an adult now I never see that happening and it is such a simple and productive act to help fellow drivers.

If I see a police car staked out painting the highway for speeders I flash my headlights for the next couple miles trying to warn drivers who are heading for the trap.  I imagine I have saved many drivers a ticket if they paid attention.  It seemed commonplace back in the 70s when my Pa was teaching me driving etiquette.  It is a lost art from what I have witnessed.  We need to begin a new campaign to revive this simple and effective method of countering the fuzz.  I am not the only one thinking this way, see this blog to see that it works: http://forums.motortrend.com/70/6524763/the-drive-in/do-you-ever-flash-your-headlights-to-warn-driver-o/index.html

Anyway peeps, lets work together, this is a method that is better than radar detectors and can do us all some good…so get to flashin against the fuzz!
