I've read this before a couple years ago.....it was bull. Link to the reports of this happening? Sorry I'm a skeptic..
I dont do it anyways. If you are too stupid to forget to put your lights on, you deserve a ticket for being a jackass.
Thats the gang mentality... I saw this a while ago. I think it was on Unsolved Mysteries. Luckily the Bloods arent very prevalent in my area. The Crips and MS-13 are, but I think its mostly Aryan gangs respectively.
The old saying goes "trust, but verify" This story and variants like it date back to it being spread via fax machines and printed letters. In fact, we've probably given it so much hype that the actual gangs accused of this are probably getting pissed enough to start doing it just to prove a point. Verification: snopes.com: Flashing Headlights Gang Initiation Always verify.
That shit is scary, especially cause it would probably some some middle-age family member gunned down over some stupid shit like this. I'm glad it's not true.
what year is it? This is the oldest of old myths... So old that people might actually start doing it again because it's "vintage"
haha hows it goin DaWood! the other day I was coming home and I see my friend pull out the gas station on to the main road with his lights off and I actually almost hit him I had to flash my lights to let him know to turn them on lol pretty funny
When i flash my lights in boulder, the only thing that ever happens is someones headlights turn on, or the slow the fuck down.... the only "gangs" here, are pretend bullshit gangs of high school fuck ups
Where I'm from the cops are so bored that if you have your lights off for less than 30 seconds your ass will get pulled over and searched for poops and giggles.
haha I could imagine the cops asking in their cop voice " Got any poops or giggles in the car we should know about?" "No sir"
