[Mr Macaw]

Observe a police van flashing his lights correctly, not as it says in the ****ed up HC.

Did you say "warning"? He'd already done the manouvre.
A pretty pointless gesture, IMO.

Mr Macaw's video showed how everybody uses flashing in the real world
and I agree that the HC version is nonsense.

Except in a court case where someone flashed someone to emerge from a side road who than gets flattened by an HGV.

The HC rule would then be cited as a reason as to why you should not rely on them.

Funny how *everyone* I've ever flashed, fully understood why I flashed
(including police cars).

Indeed. Simon was flashing in anger. Not allowed.

You misunderstand completely. If I flash you I'm not saying "it's safe for you to go", I'm saying "I'm letting you go first." Clearly you need to look for other traffic. I might for example see someone trying to turn right from a sideroad on my left. I'll flash to say you can go in front of me, they can then watch the traffic on their left and wait for the gap.

People with severe OCD follow rules despite the real world not matching up. I bet if Simon was on a motorway overtaking a 65mph car at 70mph, and a speeding ambulance appeared in his rearview mirror, he wouldn't go over 70 to let it past.

And look at all those drivers disagreeing with your choice of speed. Ever feel like you're alone?

The law is the opinion of the majority. There can be no other way.

Why can't you grasp a simple concept? If 99 people think the speed limit should be 80 and 1 thinks it should be 70, then it clearly has to be set at 80. We live in a democracy.

and since we are talking about 50mph Motorway zones, what average speed
cameras are.

Average speed cameras are law breakers?
