    Trucks pass me. I flash my brights repeatedly at them to give them permission to re-enter my lane. Nobody blinks back thanks. How rude.

    If it is a four lane highway they don’t need your help. It can be helpful on a two lane road with heavy traffic.

    Rude is what I call people that flash their brights when I pass them.

    Do you have a powerful laser pointer in the truck?

    Actually, most of us think it is rude to flash your brights.
    If you can't dim the headlights, don't do anything.

    quit flashing your brights dim your lights instead. i know some trucks the flash button flashes brights in that case you have to have your head out of your rear use some common sense and turn headlights off then back on with the switch. all u do by flashing brights is blind the driver in front of you
