flashing headlight before turning

[XTO]

mga peeps, do you flash your headlights' high beam before turning? what's your comment re this behavior? for me if its not so close, fine but for those who use this style because they just want to get by quickly with the assurance that even they're hit they still have the right esp when they're hit at the middle to rear section.

Ok lang yan ... basta one or two click lang... ska signal yan na humihingi sya way para padaanin mo.

I will not do it. Here it is being used to say- ako muna ha. In the UK it is different as it a sign of courtesy and saying - mauna ka na.

I don't flash my high beams when doing a simple turn. My turn signal will do.

Sa akin kasi, flashing your headlights at oncoming traffic is a sign of aggression/assertion; which is why I do so only if some idiot from the opposite lane insists on overtaking and occupying my lane, putting us both in danger of a collision.

I usually don't mind it, you get to the spot first the lane is yours - first come first served.

I very seldom flash my lights when turning, usually I only flash my lights when the approaching vehicle is a PUJ, taxi, tricycle or pedicab. The drivers of these vehicles usually don't know the term "give and take".

I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT when people do it.

Unlike the the US where people flash their headlights to TELL the other party to pass, dito they flash to tell you (the person who has right of way) to GIVE way.

Where in the world does a turning car have precedence to turn over a straight-road right-of-way car...

Kapal ng muka... another lack of knowledge on basic road courtesy.

My turn signal is enough to inform others my intention. Flashing head lights must be use only for those hard headed stupid drivers as others said.

yup, nung bata ako, nakalagay dun sa flasher switch: "pass" so inisip ko bakit ganun? parang baligtad sa pagkakaintindi ng tao.
