Default Cop with Radar, do you warn others

If you pass a cop using radar do you warn others, if so what do you do.

I usually always warn other riders if possible. I pat the top of my head, for a heads up.

I usually motion for them to yank a 12-O-Clocker, and double the speed limit............at least.

I always warn bikes and people in performance cars (muscle cars, BMW's, exotics...NOT tuner Civic's and Tiburon's), usually not guys in trucks and droning cages.

This seems to be the most used method. You could flash high beams like cars do which should be understood. Sometimmes I swirl my hand around in the air which probably is only understood by us old enough to remember cop cars with those revolving lights in the middle of the roof. I still owe ya Whylee

I always warn riders by patting the top of my helmet.

One time I was about to round a corner on base, and there was a guy in a truck coming in the opposite direction... He was hanging out the window of his truck smacking his head and screaming at me!

Sure enough there was a base police officer around that corner!
Saved me from the hassle of going to base traffic court!

I pat the top of my head, and if it's a sport car or something going by I'll flash my brights...

When I'm on base I'll flash my brights at every car because base police will pull you over for a mile or two over the speed limit.

I ALWAYS warn other riders/drivers no matter what they are riding/driving. "Do unto others..." , right?

What works up here is a circular motion with your hand (kinda like you're swingin' a cat) but with your index finger pointed skyward.

I like the patting the top of the helmet idea.

I always warn other riders, some cars too. A pat on the head works and if the cop is close I use a slow down signal by pushing down with my left hand.

In my locale I've been TOTALLY amazed that other drivers not only motion me by or pull off when I'm on the bike, but also flash for cops on the road ahead.

I return the favor whenever possible.
