Default what up with the ricer fly-by and then the flashers that follow

After watching some videos with street racing I noticed that almost all ricer when they win they turn on the the 4-way flashers WTF is that all about? Then when they lose most of them due some sort of fly-by to make the other guy think he actually has something fast.I'm not stupid but is this some sort unwritten code of ethics for the ricer crowd? Just curious if I'm the only one who noticies this dumbass stuff that goes on?

hazards are gay, but i do understand signaling the race is over. tapping the brakes is good.

Never liked the hazards idea. The button is a nasty bugger to get at, especially at racing speeds. I prefer the tapping of the brakes... you have to slow down anyways.

The person who started the hazards thing, prolly was some ricer whose car broke after beating a nice car and he turned them on, then they spread the word around the ricer world!

dont you know rice always wins. Even if they lose they still win when they go buzzing by you even after you slow down, at least in there mind. Maybe they dont think you slowed down, and that the vtec kicked in I think to truly win you just have to leave them so far back that they disappear and cant find you.
