IS FLASHING ILLEGAL ?

[RIMSPOKE]

IT's A TIME HONORED TRADITION TO FLASHING YOUR HEADLIGHTS

TO WARN ONCOMING MOTORISTS OF A SPEED TRAP .

HOWEVER , IN FLORIDA THEY HAVE ISSUED THOUSANDS OF TICKETS TO MOTORISTS FOR DOING JUST THAT .

IT DOES LOOK LIKE THE LAW WAS USED WRONGFULLY AND NOW THERE

IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE STATE .

IT COULD GET PRETTY EXPENSIVE .

In the UK it's been sorta kinda illegal for a long time. Called obstructing the police in their duties.
