Flashing your headlights to signal another driver over after passing?

On my Pete all you have to do is push the stick forward and it cuts the headlights momentarily. Please don’t flash your brights; it just ruins the other drivers night vision.

 

It also makes the engine real loud to go very fast.

Sorry I am in one of those moods tonight.

 

I shall clarify for the slow kids. Push the turn/wiper control arm forward on a Pete to momentarily turn off your headlights.

Tapping the button on the end will blink your clearance lights.

Carry on

The recent company trucks Ive been in did not feature those special switches to interrupt the headlights and signal lights in the trailer.

Maybe some of the younger ones may never have seen one and don't comprehend what we are trying to do.

I hope you have a good night. I think my little moment of fun went over like a lead balloon.

In the past we used the radio to tell em to come on over.

The problem became 200 trucks within 5 miles think they can come on over now.

 

Nah, you are good. I got your joke.

 

They stopped making lead balloons a long time ago. Kids where chewing on them and became truck drivers.

 

I stopped doing this years ago, unless it's to help a guy out pulling wiggle wagons. Nobody these days pays attention anyway, they'll just as soon nearly take your hood off or hang out in the passing lane for miles pissing all the 4-wheelers off.

 

I'll dim my lights for a driver if he's barely going faster than me and has traffic behind him. I'll always thank a driver that I'm passing if they flash or dim their lights, even though I don't need the help.

 

NO HIGH BEAMS, turn your low beams on and off, High beams are telling them do not come over, your not clear.
