What if we all tapped our helmets and flashed our lights at everybody all day long? Do you think the world would slow down?

I consider it my own responsibility to watch for cops. I use Escort Redline on my bikes and in my 4 wheeler. Want to be warned of speed traps, buy your own $450 radar detector. By the way, this thing alerted to Trooper with instant on Ka band last weekend from 5+miles away. It also give advance warning(about 1/2 mile) on laser somehow, even though everyone says they can't do it. I haven't had speeding ticket since 1987.

I warn people all the time. I would still warn them even if it meant a ticket.

I didn't count you because you said your city allows 13mph +/- leeway. That's plenty. Probably too much on a city side street.

But he has 5 motorcycles and they are all paid for. CASH none the less. He won't hestitate to tell you that little fact either. Kinda makes one wonder if all of that ticket revenue was making it into the proper pockets.

Did I just say that???

+1 I always flash, and am sure as hell grateful when someone flashes me. I didn't know about the helmet tap until this thread

You would do well in China with their reeducation camps.. you would be happy there...
