I mean by when you see a speed trap facing the other way and you aleart oncomming traffic? i was just warned today and man i felt so good passing that cop at speed limit =) also they were pulling people into a church, is that legal?

I do it and im proud!

i do it
but i dont think many people understand the message i'm giving them

I do it every time I get a chance, but yeah, as far as them understanding what it is I'm doing to them is a different story, a lot of the women I do it too gimme a wierd look when they drive by, I figure, whatever, your gonna get busted! Hmmm, as far as the church thing, its private property, so I guess if they get permission, then yeah.

I don't do it, because most of the people have no clue what I'm trying to say. Used to do it in Estonia most of the time. 99% of the drivers do it there.

i got saved by a guy like that a couple of weeks ago

. i just washed the car and was driving thru a back road and wanted to speed up a bit to get the water off. and i just started to speed up and a van was coming my way and flashed me. i slowed down and passed the cop nice and slow

so the answer yes i do it if i have the chance.

Furious · 01-31-2003, 06:43 PM

I remember this story from like 20/20 with barbara walters where there was this Street Gang in the states, who would drive a car at night with no headlights. A person who was to be initiated to be in the gang would be driving and the first person to flash them to tell them their headlights are off, would be chased by the initiate and beated/killed. Thats why I never flash anyone for no reason.

it should be a universal signal..everybody should start

Sounds like an urban legend to me.

i agree with sickfinga, most of the people dont know what it means...in europe everybody knows what it is, and they slow down and wave back to you ... because they have speed traps there a lot more than here

Betray · 01-31-2003, 08:18 PM

i watched a show on mtv, they said that was BS.. they also showed me how to make twin towers on a 20 bill... and some other urban shit like big penis with big feet, they proved that wrong too =)
