Blinking 4 ways after lane change?

Yes where I'm currently driving in the "wild west" Western Australia, most vehicles on the highway are Road Trains and 98 % would be Quads towing 4 trailers carting Iron ore roughly around 60 metres long or about 190 ft in imperial for those that don't know metrics, so you can understand if a "Road Train" that is traveling at a much higher speed needs to pass another train going at a slower speed some degree of help is required to make it a safe operating procedure. The front truck will often call up the driver in the truck behind asking if they wish to pass and let them know when it will be safe to pass due to it only being one lane each way, obviously if it was a two lane freeway no assistance would be required as a faster approaching vehicle could simply merge right here, or left over there and pass without assistance, once all the 60 metres of truck and trailers have passed we'll give them a holler and say "yeah your clear to come back across". It does not cost anything to be helpful to others is what I find, and keeps things safe on our highways.

That's the way we used to run over here but sadly not any longer.
