Seeing as we have no speed cameras here........ :Reverend:
I do flash for oncoming HWP and unmarked units though. Stupid thing is half the time people dont realise what youre doing and flash you back.

Yep sure do
Usually down here the camera vans are in heaps visible spots though so you dont really have to but there is the odd occasion when they will hide around a bend or at the bottom of a hill. I pretty much know every spot where they have them on the roads i use. |

Of course. If I can I'll also wind my window down and indicate there's a revenue raiser ahead (either twirling my finger like a siren or rubbing my fingers together).

But any chance I get to warn motorists gives me a warm fuzzy feeling for the rest of the day.

yep i do it everytime, although you can get fined for flashing high beams in an innappropriate manner according to the fuzz.. and by inappropriate they mean 'possibly reducing revenue' ..
solution - i just turn my headlights on and off quickly without using the high beams, perfectly legal... |

absolutely, ive even thought about stopping about half a kay before them and putting up a sign warning people...!
one drunken night a mate and i actually thought about dressing up in superhero costumes and heading out near a camera not far from our house and warning people...i think we sobered up just in the nick of time! :hihi:

Yep do it everytime, plus i broadcast it on the UHF.
Police cameras are a joke, they are getting more sneaky in QLD with where they park them, lucky for me im good at spotting them from a distance.

One hting I have noticed, it's very rare in NSW but EVERYONE does it in Victoria. Funny really, they probably catch more in NSW even though they're less strict simply through this fact, whereas in Vic everyone flashes so they'd potentially catch less people.

Get drunk and **** on their signs... then the operator gets hella annoyed when he goes to get it...

All depends, if its mr average driving normally and maybe drifting a few ks over sure, I might acidentally flash the beams!
If its some oncoming numb-nuts attempting a land speed record in something past its prime I just smile to my self for the next few K's that I didn't flash. Old & Bitter can be so much fun !!! |
