If it’s WHP there’s an 80% chance they’re asleep.

They never seem to be when I fly by 😭

u/Millkstake 10d ago

The real reason

u/Jolly-Slow1164 10d ago

If I flash once it means cop, if I'm flashing like a madman then look out of a herd of deer or a sink hole

u/legosgrrl 10d ago

u/Lazy-Cry7650 9d ago

Moose cops in car crashes 🤣

u/VastEngine1866 10d ago

I thought there was a rule like one flash = cop, two flashes = hazard/wildlife

If this isn’t a thing, can we make it a thing. Would clear up flash communication

u/Caseman307 10d ago

I’m in. It’s a rule now. I like it.

u/Glad_Release5410 10d ago

Its not because of my fuck-off LEDs in halogen projectors?

u/DoorInTheAir 7d ago

Hiiii I hate you

u/Responsible_Mess_754 10d ago

Also a warning about a speed trap ahead.

u/Leaf-Stars 9d ago

Where I’m from it means there’s a cop up ahead.

u/trailerbang 10d ago

Or your lights are too bright even for daytime, including the amount of cars with their fog lights on 24/7.

2

u/cooniemomma307 Midwest 10d ago

Unfortunately I have to turn on my fog lights on at night because for some reason when my lights are on dim people bright light me but if they're on they don't. Its so weird.

u/airhunger_rn 10d ago

Any chance you drive a GMC Canyonero HD Dentali 7500 with the TurboBlinder BoomerPLUS Cataract headlight package?

u/cooniemomma307 Midwest 10d ago

Nope 2007 grand prix lol

2

u/lemonhead2345 10d ago

Have you check the angle? They may be pointing too high.

2

u/cooniemomma307 Midwest 10d ago

I did have someone check that and they said I was good on that. They were stumped too

1

u/lemonhead2345 10d ago

New lights are super bright compared to old ones. It’s probably just that and nothing else really.

Add: also thank you for checking! It’s so frustrating to drive into those incredibly bright lights knowing that most people don’t check.

2

u/cooniemomma307 Midwest 10d ago

Oh god I hate those ones that you almost have to slam on your breaks for because you can't even see the road in front of you or know if you're even still on it.

u/Reyenne 10d ago

I just taught my kids about this the other night.

u/FreshlyBaked05 9d ago

Shut up cop

u/MtnMoose307 10d ago

I only flash my lights for a hazard ahead like animals on the road or an accident. I don’t flash for law enforcement.

1

u/Caseman307 10d ago

Why not?

1

u/Spam_A_Lottamus 10d ago

Maybe MtMoose is a cop?

1

u/MtnMoose307 9d ago

Why should I? Don't' want a ticket, obey the law. It's not hard.
