If speed enforcement is about safety not revenue (like we are always told) then why would police have a problem with drivers warning other drivers to slow down? I’m guessing it is the same reason cities install red light cameras and then shorten the time the light is yellow; even though evidence shows lengthening the yellow light decreases accidents more than red light camera$.

They not teach PARAGRAPHS where you come from?

Flashing may mean many things. It may be a reminder to turn on your lights. Or to dim your lights. Or a herd of deer is on the road.

Good for the judge.

I live in Ohio and warn drivers by flashing my lights.
I appreciate it when other drivers give me the same warning.
There are too many State Troopers in this state, IMO.

As in, “Show your t*ts?”

Excellent point.

Arresting people for flashing headlights? Fascism. If I accidentally hit the lever and the headlights flash - that’s a crime? bull$h!t.

I never flash headlights to warn other drivers about speed traps. They have to obey the law just like me. But doing it is not a crime.

...citing him for a city ordinance violation, though a similar statute exists in Missouri law...

They actually made it a law that you can't flash your lights to warn of a speed trap? And they call this a free country!

How can they prove you did it (as they would have to do in court) when you can always claim that you accidentally hit the lever and weren't flashing anyone?

Too many liberals/do-gooder/nanny-state'ers taking over the government.

I’ve been flashing my lights for 40 years.. my father and grandfather did it before. It’s an AMERICAN TRADITION!

I’m glad to see the courts agree.

Flashing lights is an individual thing, personally I could care less if a speeder gets nailed. Don’t forget speed kills and it could a friend or family member.

People in Missouri rarely use their headlights before 10pm, even while driving a white car in a driving blizzard (as seen about 100 times this week).
