Posted from a friend's FB feed (he may be on here so may wish to chip in):
"To the gentleman in the Mustang who felt the need to go past me at what must have been over 100mph on the Toll of Birness road, whilst giving me the finger in the rear view mirror when I flashed at him (To politely warn him of the marked traffic car sitting up ahead I had seen just moments before when I was travelling in the opposite direction I hasten to add)....
Tooting my horn at you and waving a couple of minutes later as you were parked up on the hard shoulder with a very disgruntled police officer strolling towards your car gave me an insane amount of pleasure.
Karma's a b
h, son."
Ain't it just!
Be excellent to each other.

Problem with that is that people flash when they get overtaken all the time even if they've been doing 40 mph for the last 20 miles. Had it twice yesterday overtaking dawdlers while myself travelling at entirely legal speeds.
I may have once blocked someone overtaking me as I saw the police car ahead. I got a wave once we passed and they'd realised why I'd done it.

I rather doubt my pal was doing 40mph. Probably somewhere close to the speed limit. But, fair enough, not >100mph.I may have once blocked someone overtaking me as I saw the police car ahead. I got a wave once we passed and they'd realised why I'd done it.
People flashing from the other direction is usually understood to be a warning. Flashing when overtaken is almost always interpreted to mean "Grumble grumble bh moan".
Flashing to try to communicate that there's an evil walrus lurking under a hedge ready to squirt ketchup on your windscreen as you go past is unlikely to hit its mark.

Even if it has been a 'grumble' flash, sounds deserved....h moan".Flashing to try to communicate that there's an evil walrus lurking under a hedge ready to squirt ketchup on your windscreen as you go past is unlikely to hit its mark.
