    Your own article says Stallworth flashed his lights as a warming so obviously he didnt know that flashing your lights means go ahead.

    The report also quoted Stallworth as saying he flashed his lights at Reyes in an attempted warning and that Stallworth was driving about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone.

    I was wondering that myself. Not to mention when you see a car coming down the street at more than 40mph (and you know when a car is going fast) flashing it's lights at you, it's probably not telling you to go ahead and cross. Later, QD.

    that guy probably thought donte was going to slow down and allow him to cross, he was only doing 50, im pretty sure a bentley can slow down just as fast as it can pick up.

    There is also the factor of how far away the car was from the guy and when he started flashing him. If the car is only about 3-4 car lengths away when the driver started flashing, and going 50mph, it's a safe bet that he isn't saying go ahead and cross. If the car is a good block down the street, then the dude should have gotten across without even a flash needed.

    Not to mention how do you (or anyone) know if the guy knew it was a Bentley to know whether it had good brakes. Later, QD.
