"open to a different interpretation by other drivers".

A bit like an incident a few years ago when a driver of a car decided to pull out in front of a police vehicle on an emergency call. The defence of the driver, was that the police vehicle was "flashing its headlights, and the driver of the other vehicle thought that the police were giving way". Sirens, blues didn't apply, apparently.

Fortunately, there were no deaths or serious injuries, but two wrecked vehicles. The case went to court, and heavy fines were made on the other vehicles driver.

finerty - What's the point in banning people from driving. You only need to attend some court proceedings to see if banning works for some people.

I was at one such proceeding, and the 'banned' driver, who had many motoring convictions, over many years, told the judge that he would continue driving, no matter what the courts said. And indeed he did.

That person had been involved with motor vehicles from a very young age, and taken through the courts on quite a number of occasions. He had also received custodial sentences, all to no avail.

What's your solution or expectations in that case, for that person, and perhaps many more like him?.

Hi all

As an ex Driving Instructor in a previous incarnation we always taught that a flashing headlight meant one thing only "I am here" and to act accordingly with caution.
