Kaleb,
Your absolutely right...... And then the trucker flashes his
"christmas tree" and moves over in front of you......
Used to give me a chill .... Real communication without saying a
word!!!

Maybe you're referring to driving in Europe?
My 40 years experience driving in USA (never drove in Europe) is
flashing
headlights *do* indicate an intention to yield. Such as flashing
high beams
when a 18 wheeler is passing so they'll know when to pull in ahead
of you -
or flashing high beams to let another drive know it;s ok to pull
out, etc.
Never have seen anyone turn headlights on/off to indicate anything.
All my driving has been east of Mississippi - maybe you're on the
left
coast?

BZZZZT Wrong.
Flashing high beams signals the intention NOT to yield.
Turning off lights momentarily signals that you DO intend to yield.
I take it you have never driven in Europe - or have done so with
ignorance. Might want to touch up on that training you spoke about.

It also doesn't hurt to flash your high beams to let the truck
driver
know
you have seen his/her intention to change lanes and you will not
get in
his/her way.
Anyway if the Government insists on handing out licenses to
operate road
missiles in breakfast cereal boxes you have to expect bad
drivers. That
is
why the autobahn system works, good roads combined with good
training........ooh and of course quality machines able to
operate at
high
speeds.

If you really want to screw up getting to where you are going -
get in
an accident. Nice way to ruin your day.
People die because of tricks like that. And it may not be the
other
guy.
