Mine’s where the turn signal is. It’s just as easy, and if I get pulled over for it, I can just say that I accidentally hit it the wrong way when I meant to change lanes.

Then again, I’m afraid to flash my lights around here; I know Texans are meant to be friendly, but I live near Ft. Worth, AKA Murder Worth (I work with people who have been affiliated with gangs in a rehab type facility). Basically, the idea is that several gang members go out on a drive, and newer gang members, “initiates,” shoot at the first person who flashes their lights as they are driving by. As far as I know, this hasn’t happened recently, but I don’t want to be the first recent case, either; therefore, I’ve never flashed my lights, for fear that the person might try to shoot me.

if the cops pull you over just tell them you “accidentally” bumped the lever/switch

As far as percentages, most of the time there’s not a criminal in the car you’re flashing, usually just Joe Schmo going a little too fast. For me, flashing hi-beams to warn other drivers about a cop is just a little bit of karma-building.

I did have a guy run off his front porch and shake his fist at me once for warning the guys coming down the road of a cop hiding in his well-concealed driveway. It was kind of funny, this old man in my rear-view mirror running down the road, shaking his fist in rage! I think that slowed EVERYONE down.

Its also fun to be the “braker”… when you see a cop car up ahead and hit your breaks really quick to warn the people behind you that there’s a speed trap… that’s common in NYC.

I love being the flasher. I feel so rebellious, and I always look around for other cops after I flash to make sure I don’t get in trouble for “tattle telling” on their buddies. :)
