United-Kingdom Flashing in Nottingham

I am all for flashing my headlights to other Mini drivers ( well will when i get it!! )

As i am all for flashing other drivers at night to warn them that there lights are not on.

Thing is, i heard a rumour of a sick joke in the Nottingham area; It was said that there is a few individuals driving around at night without there lights on, but the first person to flash them of the problem will be shot at....yep, shot at

I dismissed this as pure fabrication, but when a mate of mine phoned me to tell me the same story i started to listen, and when he told me that he had been shot at himself, through the back window with a BB gun or air gun i was worried

He contacted the police and they gave him a crime number....they were more than likely charging OAP's at car boot sales !

So please let this be a warning to folk driving round the Notts area, i would hate to hear that someone had been hurt, one is already too much..

These low life scum bags that roam the Earth need sorting out and getting off the streets

I recently heard about this too, and that it was part of a gang initiation process. I was initially quite sceptical about it, but given the current level of gun crime in Nottingham it might well be true!
