Anytime I see headlights flashing, I slow down. I generally don’t mind the stated speed limits, but what I don’t know is whether or not there is danger of some sort, ahead.

The warning could be police ahead, or icy roads, or large puddles, an oil slick, an accident...And I appreciate those warnings. They’ve saved my hide in situations where I could have been injured if I’d not been warned.

Some of these cops have a stick up their butts with a fragile ego the size of Texas, and the toughness of a soap bubble. Gigantic egos tell me a LOT about people.

And that actually can be dangerous, even if only a speed trap. People sometimes do kinda nutty things when they suddenly spot that cop on the side of the road. It really is a danger zone. Warning people of it is prudent.
