Have you ever been going down the interstate at night and seen a big
rig that just got passed by another big rig flash its lights? That
lets the passer know that it's clear for him to go ahead and pull back
into the right lane. In other words; flashing headlights like that
mean go ahead and go. That's not the signal you want to send.
