i got thinking about this the other day..
an old trick when you see a cop parked looking for speeders.
after i see the cop i flash my head lights to on coming traffic to let them know to slow down because of the cop.

Yeah, thats why I don't bother. I flash my lights, 75% of the time, they flash back .I don't think most people know what you're doing when you flash your lights, if they did I'd do it.
