I used to never flash until I started reading these forums and all the unsafe drivers that work for megas... every Swift, prime, Werner etc... I slow down and get the hell out the way.
Rusty Trawler Thanks this. -
Oh you get all sorts of 3rd worlders with crazy ideas about how and when it is appropriate to use high beams if you spend any time the Northeast or down in Florida. I never noticed just how ####ing obnoxious people can be with that until I moved to NYC/Jersey from the Pacific Northwest, where people are mostly polite enough not to do that sort of crap.

The only time I'll obnoxiously flash my high beams at another truck on purpose is on the rare occasion it's late at night and some dude-brah is clearly either jacking off or falling asleep when he puts his rig into my lane for the 3rd time as I come up to pass him. Then where was that clueless black kid in the Swift truck that one afternoon in PA...lol. Oh man.
Rusty Trawler Thanks this. -

What's with all the truckers hugging the centerline on a 2 lane road lately? Every time I want to see if its clear to pass, they drift right up to the centerline. Sometimes right over it by a few inches. A couple people have mentioned it to me now.

I dont flash at all. Move over at your own risk. But...if you happen to to come up on me with your white lights and fog lights and your led bar on, then yes, I will be happy to flash you over. And I dont mean just a flash. Adjust your lights so it points to the mirrors. Fun times

He's probably afraid you'll get out in front of him and go slow.
Maybe this doesn't happen north of the border, but it's a problem around these parts. -
Guess its possible. It happens a lot when I'm driving my pickup too.
