TBH... Very beneficial, honestly.

The "Tutor" explained why he drives with his dipped beam on at ALL times, and it really does work !!!

    It generally stops dicks pulling out on you and stops a lot of confusion by NOT flashing to let people out !

    I've found that when a driver wants to pull out, they look at the driver... So a simple hand gesture works in that case...

    It is the same principle used by bus companies !

    I'll second that.

    My lights are on all the time...I never flash.

    If I let you out (I dont because I drive a BMW) I gesture by hand.

    Thats the way it should be Gav... In the Highway Code, the flashing of headlights is a procedure to make other road-users AWARE that YOU are there, and THATS IT. B)

    Especially if a French car is knocking about :lol:

    There is a specific thread for the French car/Gav jokes ;)

    But yes...

    In the past I have flashed hello to a friend and then been cut up....

    Flashing lights and horns should be kept as warnings.

    But also, If you have right of way, take it, save causing confusion.
