That’s what I was thinking I done it once to a driver he put his middle finger up, looked in my mirrors he was slamming the anchors on lol if only he knew what I meant.

Pmsl epic fail,

juddian · 16 2013 21:33

Yep, speed trap warning.

Decent bloke by the sounds of it, getting rare.

Some missed that day of truck school it appears but yeah flashing of lights and thumbs down is “speed trap” or police ahead

Another old warning was to hold up a tacho disc to warn of a ministry
man in the area.

Honestly? Christ almighty. I thought this was a universally known way of alerting other drivers to police/vosa/hazard? Please forgive my fellow stobart drivers. Some truly are grade A muppets.

i usually give a few frantic flashes and stick my hazards on to warn of an obstruction. Not sure of the officially unofficial warning for it but my method seems to work. I hope!

That may have been me flashing to warn yourself and others if you were travelling southbound that you will need to adjust your speed accordingly I wasn’t aware you were a stobart driver, don’t really care if it was, I was just trying to warn a fellow professional driver!

I’m reading this as though your a stobart driver ,and by the other driver flashing his lights and giving you the thumbs down you assumed he was a stobart hater .
