Being a 'nice' driver could lead to £1,000 fine

Being a 'nice' driver could lead to a £1,000 fine. Motorists who are extra courteous in trying to help others on the roads could be left in hot water with the police.

The act of flashing lights to signal to other drivers speed cameras are ahead can be met with a hefty fine and points on your licence. WalesOnline reports drivers can also get into trouble when beeping the horn when going around tight bends to warn other drivers.

New research from price comparison website, comparethemarket.com, found that a shocking 37% of motorists were unaware that flashing their lights at another road user to warn them of an upcoming "speed trap", such as a speed camera or police officer with a speed gun, could land them with a £1,000 fine and three points on their licence.
