  Information For Flashers.

  i've just read in todays paper an article on driving in different countries.

  apart from the obvious statement that europe drives on the right, uk on the left and italy in the shade, i was intrigued that the flashing of headlights had different meanings too.. if you're driving in the uk and you flash your headlights at another driver you are actually saying "go ahead and make your move, i am giving way to you".

  it's a sort of gentlemanly gesture.

  It usually means to slow down, police ahead

  When I was a teen, my home was on a highway. (King's Highway in South Jersey, to be precise.) It was a lovely residential area, but on a major road nevertheless. Speed 25 mph. Most everyone did at least 35.
  

  Right after our house was a speed trap. The police used to sit there and wait for persons speeding around a corner about 1/8 mile up the road and ticket them.

  My brother got the great idea to paint a big sign which read, "COP AHEAD". He stood at the curve in the road, where a speeding driver would be unable to see that the police were waiting ahead.

  Now, 99 percent of the persons who saw that sign would wave, say thanks, and slow down.

  Invariably, there was that one person out of one hundred who would give my brother the finger and speed up....right into the police speed trap, where I was waiting, laughing.

  Gives new meaning to the WTS admonition, "Do you heed warnings?"

  Guess that says a lot about the way I think.
