Class Action Suit says Florida Highway Patrol Illegally Tickets Motorists Who Warn...

[AVGWarhawk]

Many drive above the speed limit and turn without signaling, it doesn't mean those actions are not illegal under trafic laws.

Speed limit signs are posted. No mystery here. Non-flashing of headlights signs are not posted and officer's can interpret what they like concerning the law on flashing of lights. Turn signals are to be used when turns are being conducted. I believe a law is on the books for using turn signals when making a right or left turn. If the signal is not used it is unsafe lane change or turn without use of signal. There are hand signals for indicating a turn is forthcoming. These signals to be used if the mechanical signal on the vehicle is inoperable or vehicle is not equipped with signals.

That could also be illegal under other provisions, the flash switch is normally on high beam, it is illegal to use high beam with oncoming traffic.

The flash switch is in the position the driver puts the switch in. Common sense would indicate high beams will blind oncoming drivers. Then again, we are talking common sense which many do not possess.
