[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1616914, member: 4319"] I flash my lights every time I see one of my local cops "enforcing speed". Because they write a ridiculous amount of tickets for minor speed violations 24/7 and it's nothing but revenue generation at its sickest. I don't flash when I see an OHP, because from my experience, if you get pulled by the OHP you probably deserve it. And even then you're likely just to get a warning and a thank you. I do this as a courtesy for truckers signaling to make a lane change in front of me. They are so used to people passing them on the right while they are signaling they appreciate it. I'll always go out of my way to "block" for a trucker so he can get over/merge. People cut them no slack. They almost always give the taillight thank you. If I'm on a 2 lane and want to pass a truck, I get over a bit and flash my lights so he knows I'm coming alongside him. Especially in windy, high speed 2 lanes like BFE Kansas where trucks understandably drift a bit with the gusts. They will slow down a bit and stay right to make your pass easier. [/QUOTE]
