I have never used flashing headlights to warn of impending cops, but I see nothing wrong with it.

I really don't like that flashing headlights (or honking the horn here in Washington State) can be ticketed.

I believe that both are a form of communication. Horn might be noisy, but it alerts drivers that are sitting at a light when the light turns green, or changing lanes. There are just times where it is necessary to honk your horn.

Same goes with flashing the high beams. I used to use it all the time to flash people that had left them on. I still do, but I apparently could get ticketed now. Also, it used to be common to flash your headlights in the left lane when someone wasn't pulling over when not passing. Now, apparently, that's illegal.

I'm sorry...but I think both of those warnings should both be legal and common. People shouldn't get their panties in a wad just because someone flashes their lights.
