Former Sergeant reveals the DEADLY REASON why you should never flash other drivers with your headlights

[Warning: This article contains information that some readers may find upsetting. Please be aware there are descriptions of real-life crimes]

Let's say you observe someone driving erratically and recklessly. They are zigzagging across lanes and overall putting other drivers and themselves in danger.

And then you see police lights flashing in the distance getting closer and closer… What would be your first course of action in this situation? Would you flash the headlights on your car to signal the approaching driver and other drivers to slow down?



Some drivers have always done this — flashing their lights to alert other drivers to approaching law enforcement. But, did you know that this seemingly 'common' practice may put your life in danger?

During his appearance on The RichLife Project’s podcast, ex-Sergeant Glenn Gorick urged people never to flash their lights as a warning of approaching police officers and to warn fellow motorists who are driving dangerously. He then told a story where a group of murderers used the signal to dodge police before killing a young woman.

Mr Gorick warned: ‘People flashing headlights, that's to slow people down or whatever from getting a speeding ticket, you know, so be it. But, you're also telling people that are wanted — people that are in a stolen car — that "the police are up the road”.'

'Janine Balding, she was taken from Sutherland Railway Station on Tuesday night (in 1988) and taken to Blacktown where she was murdered.'

The former Sergeant further explained that the in the late 1980's when 'RBT was huge', murderers confessed to the authorities how they were able to drive to Blacktown without encountering any law enforcement.



He added: 'So, Janine lost her life because someone maybe flashed their headlights.'

The group of young people kidnapped Janine Balding and took her to Blacktown in western Sydney, where she was aped before being killed in the sickening crime.

Except for Jamieson, who was 22 years old, the culprits, Matthew James Elliott, Bronson Matthew Blessington, Stephen Wayne 'Shorty' Jamieson, Wayne Lindsay Wilmot, and Carol Ann Arrow, were all teens between the ages of 14 and 16.

The victim was raped at knifepoint by Elliott, Blessington, and Jamieson after the group drove over to the side of the M4 expressway. The 20-year-old was then bound and taken to a nearby property by the assailants, where she was drowned in a dam.

All five of the young people were later detained and accused of the heinous act. Jamieson was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole, while Elliot and Blessington received life sentences plus 25 years. Wilmot served seven and a half years in prison before being freed in 1996. He is presently incarcerated for numerous robberies and sexual assaults.

Meanwhile, three years of good behaviour were rewarded to Arrow.

Key Takeaways

  • Flashing your lights to warn other drivers about police can lead to dangerous consequences, as it can alert criminals to the presence of law enforcement.
  • In one instance, a group of murderers used the signal to avoid police before killing a young woman.
  • This highlights the importance of being mindful of the potential consequences of your actions, even when they may seem innocuous.



What’s the lesson to be learned here? Aside from the fact that flashing your headlights to warn others of cops is endangering people, Gorick’s story also teaches us to always be wary and always keep our wits about us. We all deserve a safe country, both behind the wheel and while walking down the street.

So, members, when driving, always obey the law and drive safely!

I never flash my light anymore, let the Police do their job, anyway, better they are catching someone else rather than me anyway.
 
Should you flash your lights to let someone know they have only one headlight working?

To older drivers, I have been driving 75 years, headlight flashing was also used to warn others of hazards: trees down, flooding, road subsidence and crash. To let overtaking vehicle {usually trucks) know it was clear to complete manoeuvre and pull in, and to acknowledge fellow motorists driving a similar model;
MG, Singer, Jaguar, Triumph, etc.
 
No.

Notifying or warning other drivers of road hazards is a courteous responsibility that we all have as drivers. Of a nighttime it might be cattle or other animals on the road, an MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident), a fallen load from a vehicle, a fallen limb from a tree or a flooded causeway. Police are a driver's hazard NOT a road hazard.

I was guilty of flashing my lights to warn motorists of a radar site when I was younger.
I no longer do that, now my opinion is - if you are doing the wrong thing then you deserve to be caught.

Talking of headlights, does anyone else think that those bright blue lights common on utes , SUVs and other vehicles are down-right dangerous to oncoming traffic. When they hit one in the eye they are painfully dazzling and it is almost impossible to see ahead past the oncomimg vehicle with those blue lights. Our eyes adapt to the dark and we do not need those extremely bright lights that dazzle drivers of oncoming vehicles. Likewise the very bright tail lights, indicators and brake lights now common. In the days of Joe Lucas and the 12 volt generator in cars car and motorcycles were certainly adequate at speeds of 60mph (90km/h) and when dipped did not blind oncoming drivers.

Even worse, those bight blue lights in SUVs and utes are set high in the vehicle's body, at head height of the driver in a smaller oncoming car which simply causes temporary blindness when they hit you in the eye and that, with the best will in the world, is more dangerous than flashing one's headlights to warn of a police speed-trap.
