Motorists who flash their lights to warn others about speed cameras might believe they're being helpful - but this action is against the law.While it may appear as a kind gesture, it's actually a breach of traffic regulations and could result in a hefty fine.

According to Rule 110 of The Highway Code, headlight flashing should only be used to make other road users aware of your presence.

The rule says: "Only flash your headlights to let other road users know that you are there. Do not flash your headlights to convey any other message or intimidate other road users." READ MORE: 'I lost my three-year-old daughter and my wife.
