When You See Flashing Headlights
You’re cruising down the Lloyd, headed to work or maybe out for a weekend trip, when suddenly the car coming toward you starts flashing its brights. At night, it’s usually a polite reminder that you’ve got your high beams on. But during the day? Nine times out of ten, it’s the universal “heads up – police up ahead” signal.
That brings up the big question: Is it actually legal in Indiana to flash your headlights and warn other drivers about a cop waiting down the road?
What Indiana Law Says About Flashing Your Headlights
The short answer: yes, it’s legal. There’s no specific Indiana law that says you can’t give drivers that friendly little warning. In fact, in some other states, courts have ruled that flashing your lights counts as free speech under the First Amendment. Indiana hasn’t gone quite that far with a court decision, but our state’s traffic code doesn’t outlaw it either.
