Drivers do this all the time when there is a speed trap, drivers coming the other way flash their lights ferociously as a warning to others. What a bunch of ******s the police have become. It will be a sad day for justice when warning others not to break the law becomes something for which the "perpetrator" will be hunted down and persec... er... prosecuted. And yes, I am aware that there are already extant cases of it. |

ISTR it's an offence to warn other road users of a speedtrap/checkpoint ahead, and reasonably so IMNSHO - it's obstruction of justice by attempting to prevent the apprehension of a person while committing a criminal act. But how about *before* they commit an offence? You might not know that local BBC radio in Essex tells listeners where the Essex "Safety" Camera vans are on that day (only by approximate location, but those who know the area know exactly where the vans will be). |

If it's wrong to stop someone from speeding (and being caught for it), then the answer is clearly "Yes". You will have obstructed the police. |

No, of course it's not FX: rolls eyes Warning speeding drivers about speed traps stops them getting caught and possibly banned if they accrue enough points, at which point they will cease to be a danger to the public at large. Nutter. Anti-social nutter. |

Flashing your lights at someone who is speeding (which everybody does by the way), stops them speeding. You're preventing the "crime". You are preventing them being apprehended for their crime. You can't prevent them from being apprehended for a crime that didn't take place. |
