    yeah, no more flashing lights here to be nice either.
    No more assuming what flashing lights means either.

    Another scam is thinking the person in front of you waiting at a stop sign or yield sign took off and is gone. Some are now stopping again hoping to get rear ended because whiplash from hitting a stopped vehicle can have a big payout.


    Also have cam recorder running all the time . Forward and back. Opportunists everywhere. Why work and be a contributing member of society when you can live like a king scamming and playing the system ?

    Lmao. That's funny. True here also in the country. City....different story.

    I've never seen this scam before but we have traffic circles here. Less and less lights and stop signs everyday. Again...in the city its a different story. Some intersections you don't even stop for red lights after dark and best be armed.
