Flashing lights

 

There was an article in "Roundel" in October 2011 that pointed out that:

"Florida courts say that state law 'does not prohibit the flashing of headlights as a means of communication, nor does it in any way reference flashing headlights or the use of high beams.' That appears to exempt old-guard BMW CCA members who flash their 2002 headlights in greeting as they pass another BMW -- and those drivers who flash their lights to warn oncoming cars of a speed trap."

It goes on to state that "Other states, but not all, have similarly clarified the law; in New Jersey, as far back as the 1980s, a state judge held that flashing one's headlamps is part of an American tradition dating to Paul Revere: warning others of the presence of armed authority on our shore."

While Paul Revere was worried about foreign armed authority I think that we can get his point.

I find it surprising (in a refreshing way) that somewhere, anywhere, there is a judge who considers the judiciary a 3rd branch of government.
Maybe there is hope yet.

3rd Branch

We had better hope that he is still on the bench.

Flashing lights

Flashing lights can be one way to help cut on speeders. Politicians see that as revenue cut.
