    Default Flashing

    No, not boobs.

    If you're driving on the road, minding your own damn business and you see a photoradar van on the other side, what do you do? Do you flash your high beams at oncoming traffic to warn them, or do you let them fend for themselves?

    I would normally ask my exgirlfriend, but she normally runs people off the road. I can't tell because of her bad driving or if it's because of the people getting distracted by the fake tits I bought her.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I definitely flash for opposing traffic or put on my hazards for people behind me.

    Hazard flashing also works to say thanks if they let you in.

    95% of people don’t have a clue.

    I flash for sure and I appreciate when others return the favour.

    But I noticed in the last say 5+ years, it's not as common as when I was younger. Maybe the millennial's are too lazy??? Or people just don't give a fuck anymore to warn others.

    It's better to honk than to flash.. in both your situations.

    it depends on the area, when people rip at 70 down a 50 through a residential area, they can pay the fine, but if its like 90 on a 70 that nobody does the limit on, then yeah i'll flash.

    It's not the size that matters, it's the taste it leaves in your mouth.

    I don't flash in the city, too many people turned their brights on me when I did. I still do on the highway though.

    I wink twice and sometimes I wear sunglasses.

    Depending on the situation. In the city, most likely no.

    On the Highway I will flash (as long as there are no cops around) but in the city I just don't do it any more. It seems folks don't understand and they think you are flashing them to say you have your high beams on. I flashed one guy in the city and I got the F.U. finger as a thanks.

    Used to flash all the time, but after rarely getting it back in return I've pretty much stopped. Plus after watching too many movies and news about gangs I don't want to get murdered flashing the wrong person, that would suck.

    I don't flash. You're on your own.

    One time some guy in front of me stopped in the middle of the street and pointed at the photo radar box to let everyone know. Don't do that.

    Yeah always. This shit drives me nuts.

    Was driving up Sarcee on my way home a couple weeks ago, and some idiot from Sask was driving with no lights on. I tried flashing them far longer than I probably should have...when I finally went around them, I just got a dirty look. Idiots.
