Flashing Headlight / Gang Hoax

Don’t flash your lights at anyone…. A police officer that works with the DARE program is passing this warning to various companies in the area. If you’re ever driving after dark and see an on coming car with no headlights turned on, DO NOT flash your lights at them! This is a common gang member “initiation game” that goes like this: – The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights and the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his “target”. – He is now required to turn around and chase that car and shoot at or into the car in order to complete his initiation requirements. Make sure you share this information with all the drivers in your family!! Pass on this information to your staff. Like many hoaxes, this one sounds plausible.
