Neurodancer Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 In the land down under, flashing your high beam means: - ... -"Watch out, there are cops ahead" (if they are going the opposite direction) - ... In some parts of the MidWest, the signal for pig ahead is turning your lights on and off (or off and on at night...) to oncoming traffic. I'm not sure, but it might not be exactly legal to signal about upcoming speed traps... but I'll keep doing it (even if I am now in New York!) until I am told otherwise.

Merc6 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Beleve it's legal. Purpose of speed traps were to slow people down granted some places use it for funds. Flashing lights slow people down in turn promotes safer driving which is kinda the purose of traffic safety cops. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC525 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 As a transplanted FIB (see also: "Flatlander", for you midwesterners) now in the land of cheeseheads, The only subie driver that ever waved back to me was in an OBXT. I get tired of waving at chicks in stripped-down Foresters and OB's. It's not that they're rude, they're always on the phone and not paying attention to anything.

rony Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Of all of the cars I have owned, most legacy owners I have come accross in person are for the most part, the most rude. If I see someone on the road, with a legacy GT that has been modified somewhat, I know that person must be an enthusiast of some sort, so I always wave or signal in some way. The unfortunate part is that they look at me like i'm some schmuck or comepletely avoid me. There was a guy just the other day on the freeway behind me. I tried to wave and give a thumbs up, but this person pulled along side of me, stared me down, and took off. It's happened about 6 times in a row now. I've had more compliments from non-subaru owners than actual subaru owners. Well, it wasn't me... I at least check out the other LGT's. But, most people don't have a clue.

psi365 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Wasn't me. I'll be honest a lot of the time I spend on the road is going to or from work. I'm just usually wanting to go home so I'm really not paying attention to the other cars around me. So if by some wierd chance someone is waving at me from another subie, I'd probablay not notice and would be appearing to be rude. You know why they call Chicago the windy city? Cause Wisconsin sucks and Indiana blows!!!!!! FIB FTW!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sysfailur Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've had my Legacy a little less than a year, and I would probably not know why someone was waving at me either. Unless he had a really modified subaru, then I think it would register right away. If I see you you're getting a wave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENCOB Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It's a little bit different here in TX (maybe) as I've even rolled down my window to say hello and/or compliment a Baja and a Wrx. Still tooting and/or waving to most of the Subarus I see, many have greeted back, some have not noticed or ignored It really doesn't matter to me but it is more fun and people friendly to be greeted back. I'm not shy so I've talked to several Subaru owners I've come across at/in parking lots and gas stations......peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENCOB Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 On the contrary to rudeness: I was at the office earlier this week and got a phone call from another part of the building. When I asked who it was I didn't recognize the fella but the "jeton" fell through when he told me taht he's the owner of the black BAJA and that he just wanted to say HI, cool beans......And I remember an instance several weeks ago driving home from work when traffic was backed up quite a ways in/on the left lane of a 2 lane throughway. This due to the fact that further down the road many folks were lined up to turn left to what is called the "Kemah Boardwalk". I was driving south on the Kemah bridge and spotted an STI from the distance, noticed it due to the rear spoiler. I honked the old greeting as I was driving by him/her and, before I was finished with mine, he/she obviously recognized the toot and even hit the last 2 notes as I was completing mine......We actually had a brief orchestral stereo going......Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
