Several reasons were put forward as to why a motorists wouldn’t flash oncoming traffic of a speed trap, mainly safety was a concern, also the flash could be misinterpreted or that the other driver deserves to be caught for speeding. Nearly half of motorists felt that the Highway Code needed some explanation or standard code for flashing headlights at other drivers.
