1. Flashing car lights to give notice of a speed trap

You have to admit it… Flashing your car lights to warn of a speed trap feels illegal. Well, it’s not. In February 2014, a federal judge ruled that motorists have the right to flash their headlights in order to warn other drivers of speed traps and law enforcement officers.

Before that, police officers were entitled to stop those who flicked on and off the headlights of their vehicles. Now, you can flash your headlights to warn others… It is completely legal in most states. In fact, this act is considered Freedom of Speech, and it is protected under the First Amendment.
