'trouble up ahead'?

ie signalling there's a speed trap or an accident round the bend or simply 'slow down' there's <shit> ahead?

I recommend a simple 'THUMB DOWN' to whoever you're warning - what do you think? It's quick, easy, you don't have to think about it and it's internationally recognised . . .?

You could actually do the proper road signal from the Highway Code for slow down? Rolling Eyes

you wouldn't have time necessarily - how many 'flaps' would you get in the space of the few metres and closing speed of anything from 40mph+? . . . hence my thread Wink

Hi
Yeah I do the flappy thingy on single roads if there is troble/coppers ahead, or flash my lights s**t loads if im on a dule carridge way/motorway, one flash and people may think your flashing sum1 past, if your flashing alot it should get peoples attention.

I do the whirly thing over my head if im going slow and see sum1 else going slowly.

I was once giving it some of these lights when a bloke in car started waving about like a maniac. I slowed down and when I came round the bend there was a copper pointing a speed gun at me, har har I was doing the speed limit Mr. Green

, thank you Mr flappy Car driver, if it wasnt for him I would have certainlly have been done (it was a 30 and when you accelerte hard on an R6 your doing way over that in a few secods Confused

).

We got the old 'headlight-flash' on the way to see Ste the other day. Only problem was it was about 10 miles before we got to the speedtrap so wasted the whole length of a real nice twisty road going really slowly. Confused
