Universal “Thank You” Signal

farmerjohn64, you have nothing to apologize for, nor defend... This is an ongoing "discussion" about this topic. Nothing new. Everyone has they're personal views, likes, dislikes, and gripes... So take all this with a BIG grain of salt and (like you said) move on.

 

I'll dim my lights for someone passing me if they've got traffic behind them or if they seem unsure about getting back over. Some will thank me and some won't. I always wonder about the guys who thank me even though I didn't signal them over. Are they saying "Thanks for nothing"?

 

When I rode with my grandfather back in the seventies he only either turned on his head lights or shut them off, there wasn't an option to flash brites.

 

Sometimes a guy passes me, creates the appropriate amount of space, signals, pulls in and then blinks his lights at me. For a dude like that, I'm sorry I didn't signal for him to move on over in the first place. It's almost as if I've let him down.

 

Or you could be lazy like me....
You can signal right then left.

Means the same #### as the flashing the clearance lights. Easier bulb to change...

 

You bright light me ... I "courteously" hit you with my obnoxiously bright work lights.

Can't fix stupid.
