DON'T HELP SPEEDERS BREAK LAW

TWICE recently, I encounterd people flashing their lights to warn others of a police officer using radar. I would like for people who do this to consider why the radar is being used. It is to enforce the speed limit in the location where it is used. Speed limits are designed to provide safe driving based on traffic conditions for that specific location.

Speeders are breaking the law and endangering the lives of others. By warning them, you are in effect saying speeding and breaking the law is OK. Think about it. RAYMOND L. RUSMISEL ROANOKE
