bkuhr Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Not sure if this is true or bogus, but I think better safe than sorry-and good reason to be packing. In summary: Don't flash headlight at on-coming car with lights off, as they may chase you down to kill you!
Sailor Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 That one has been going around for years. It is totally bogus. I remember being warned about flashing the lights when I was in high school. That is decades ago.
bongobobny Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 It was started by some cop who was tired of having speeders warned about radar traps...
Venturous Randy Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Snopes says it is all false. RandyA
Pegasus1300 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Totally bogus. I first ran into in 1999.
SoCalVenture Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Not sure if this is true or bogus, but I think better safe than sorry-and good reason to be packing. In summary: Don't flash headlight at on-coming car with lights off, as they may chase you down to kill you! This makes a strong case for gun control. When I ride, I always securely carry my Glock on hip with one in the pipe followed by 15 friends.
Venturous Randy Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I remember many years ago reading an article about drunk driving and the Tennessee Highway Patrol reported that about 65% of DUI offenders were initially pulled over for not having their lights on. This was long before cell phones and cars with automatic headlights, but I always found that interesting. RandyA
Brake Pad Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Yep, one in the pipe and nine close friends, never leave home without them

As for the "urban legend" aspect, back in the late 90's my wife & I were driving through the middle of cow country, WI, late at night. I flashed a car that had it's high beams on, after they passed us they swung around and followed us, however it was probably kids playing on that legend because when I came to a town, they U-turned and went back the way we came. And no, it wasn't a cop car, it was a little import, a honda or a toy or something like that. It did scare the crap out of my wife tho, and she doesn't like me to flash my lights at other drivers now. -Andrew
