I figured out a solution a long time ago. If I see a car without lights, I shoot first. Solves two problems at once.

so tell me why are they now starting this up again? Perhaps the zeroes in Salem have decided to make this not a hoax? Just sayin.

Its a terrible thing to live in fear. If you keep people scared you can manipulate them into doing anything you want. The sad thing is that some teenage pranksters may try a variation of this and end up getting seriously hurt.

it would really suck to get shot when you were flashing your light just to make the street light change quicker

I flashed my lights the other morning while going over the mountain, a large rock had rolled off the side of a hill into the highway. Not into my lane but the on coming lane. Please dont shoot me, just be aware that there could be a hazard your coming up to.

be careful! if your seen doing thins by police you will be sighted for impersonating an emergency vehicle since your trying to replicate the opticon on an emergency vehicle.
