What a fucking joke

Driver, 64, who flashed headlights to warn fellow motorists of speed trap hauled to court and fined for 'obstructing police'

Cameras are supposedly to improve saftey at a specific danger spot. Signs are put up to tell people that there are cameras ahead, and therefore a dangerous area ahead. Surely by flashing, the driver is improving saftey at a known danger spot. No harm was done other than possibly lowering the rate of drivers caught by the speed trap.

This has obviously pissed off the cop-with-radar-gun and so he gets him arrested. As we all know, the CPS are in the pocket of the police, and so the guy gets a conviction for it.

Disgraceful imo

Too busy driving myself to worry about lawbreakers, BOAT. All I can do is be as safe on the road as I can be. I don't need some bellend blinding me for that

The irony is that he was slowing people down by flashing and therefore making the road safer!
I ALWAYS flash to warn others when plod's on the prowl.
I've been saved many times by others doing it for me too.

Never needed it here, Tony. I don't speed.

I only speed between cameras....but never in a built up area.

I don't know why anyone speeds - you don't get there any quicker...

What if you totally misinterpret the flashing as a come on from a dogger?

Not that that has ever happened to me and particularly not in a layby on the A69 near Carlisle

I dont mind as long as can do the speed limit bert, like doing 60 in a 60 zone and not 30.

And when it didn't happen, it wasn't a minibus full of pensioners and none of them saw my ready co... OK, I'm going to stop there

I wouldn't have put you down as a Daily Mail reader Boat. It's a piece of shit that misrepresents and makes up story's to please its audience-bad news sells. There is also their political stance as well obviously.
