    May I second that? I am careful checking the mirror for safe distance to pull in, as too many drivers flash their high beams. Very blinding. I also don't pull in just because some flashes their lights, I wait till I'm comfortable, and if I can; I give lot's of room so they don't have to look at the back of my trailers too close for comfort. Pulling super b's, I'm not passing many people though!

    If someone does something courteous, even if it's a four wheeler; I flash the four way's in a double flash for 'thank you'.
     
    Half a Load Thanks this.

    I Never "FLASH" headlights at anyone. I drive current models with steering-wheel mounted dipper switches. Left side dips front headlights - right side dips markers. I always remember at the beginning appreciating the assistance from someone, when I had a hard time judging when to pull back in, and so I usually do it as a courtesy. And whilst I really never need that help anymore, I appreciate someone's good intentions. As a courtesy in return, I usually send (morse code!) Dah - Dah Dit - Dah Dit Dit Dah or translated - TNX!

    Did not know that the left blink was a flip off..oh well I won't take offense to it due to the fact I always try to do the right thing by slowing down a little or hitting the light off switch.I get passed alot due to the 62 governed speed.

    Not yet, but if I get my own truck, I will. Flash them in some weird Close Encounters kind of way then when they ask what the hell is going on over the cb deny any knowledge of it.

    I had a truck with a bad ground and the lights would start flashing on a rough road. I40 in Ok City was crazy. the shop said they would fix it when I got in 3 days later the DOT said take it in. no ticket a real nice guy he just laughed showed him where I noted it on pretrips and post. That was a fun night!
