Default Flash your lights and get shot!!!!

Don't know if this has been on here or not, but just been told this is the latest gang craze. A new member, as his/her initiation, drives round at night, with no lights on. The first person to flash them and make them aware, they drive after and shoot through the window! Can it be true? Anyone heard of this? I know i won't be flashing anyone for a while!

It's an "urban myth". Was also popularised by being talked about a few years ago in the film " Urban Ledgend" !!!

Don't think it really happens.....but then again....who knows??

It is indeed an Urban legend.....there is a site documenting it somewhere, just can't remember the URL at the moment.

I think that penalty should apply to those who don't flash their lights/wave to a scooby, though ;-) Lock and load! :-D

Best

Why is everyone so gullable these days

I live in Compton and still flash my lights at night; especially at the Ghetto Birds overhead

Thumbs down

Flashed two people tonight, one of them in the middle of Derbyshire (he must have had infrared vison or something).


Preparing for bullets.

Amen to that. The new gang member should drive around until the first Volvo or Mk1 Rover 200, with foglights on, pulls out in front of them without looking, then shoot them. The driver would have been dead in a few years anyway.

No no it's true....also have you heard that people are dropping drugs into drinks. When you make up in the morning you've had your kidneys removed and have been put in an ice bath.

All the craze apparantly.
