Apology

This four wheeler clearance flashes and 9 times out of 10 will get a ty flash.
I remember hearing somewhere that something like 32% of accident involve lane changes and if I can show some courtesy and help make it safer, well I'm going to keep flashin.

 

I used to turn headlights off for a sec to let someone know it was ok to come over, then someone said, "what if they don't come back on"!
I did the high beam thing, till someone did it for me one time when my eyeballs felt like they were wrapped in sandpaper.
I don't accept the flash to come over because....did he flash or did he hit a bump? When I can see for myself it is clear to come over I come back.
Not to be rude, but you drive your rig and I'll drive mine.
"But officer, he flashed his lights, I didn't know I was only half way past him"
In very bad visibility (snow/rain) I might do the flash thing, but after I have tried the cb.
If I happen to be looking in the mirror when someone flashes the headlights, I give them a little show with the 4-ways and left turn signal as a thank you, but only if I happen to be looking.

 

Deal with it ,once you get your own truck it will be fine.................

 

As long as the flasher...er...anyway... the flasher doesn't brights me, I will say Thank You as the flashee. For some reason, though, if I'm going to get brightsed, it's usually going to happen at the very instant I'm looking in my mirror to see where the brightser is. Yeeowch!! At best, the brightser will be completely ignored. It's just too bad more people don't know that single left blink is an invitation to do unnatural things to themselves.

 

what if his trainer is on this board...and the OP don't know it.....





......and the trainer starts saying.....hmmm......HMMMMMM....

I THINK I KNOW THIS GUY.......

 

flasher....lol.....


.......i think i need a Injun dictionary.....

 

Maybe the guy just wants you to learn how to change lanes without someone telling you?

 

i agree, common courtesy. if we all continue to practice this, even in our 4 wheelers, maybe the roads would be not so much safer (per se) but more "friendlier" to all that use it.

sadly though, common courtesy is only in those of us that still have some.

 

Very True. And what some of these new drivers need to know flashing is not the signal to comeover. It's another tool to confirm what your brain is already telling you.
