Not sure if either you guys or anyone else following this thread has heard but drivers' fury has gone up a notch after police prosecution of drivers for flashing headlights at other drivers to warn them of hidden speed traps i.e. a copper hidding in bushes with a speed gun thingy. It's so cynical the police offcers anticipated drivers helping each other out they had coppers on motorbikes to go after 'offenders'.
How the hell can you get done for averting criminal behavior???
Does that mean adults trying to persuade youngsters on the edge to step back from the abyss and do positive things will done for potentially stopping youths from comitting future crimes?
To say it is perfectly fine for a driver to flash ones headlights carelessly (in effect taking control of traffic, which is illegal), cause a possibly fatal accident, is immediately absolved of any responsibilty of the ensuing chaos. And someone flashing headlights and stopping dangerous and criminal behavior will be prosecuted is a total joke.
(Yes it's easy to get into the mob vibe and say fine all speeding drivers but something smells here.)
