What does it mean when someone flashes his lights behind you?

[desert fox]

strange.

[tanatej]

Just ignore. Travel at your own pace, lalo na kung reasonable naman ang speed mo (40/50 KPH)

Pag nadisgrasya ka or may madisgrasya ka dahil nagmadali ka di naman niya sagutin yun.

Para sa mga nagmamadali/naghahabol ng oras: Umalis kayo ng maaga.

Para sa mga natatae/naiihi: Dapat ginawa mo yan bago ka umalis.

Last month lng along Mindanao ave. going to Trinoma (afternoon) tinted gray innova panay flash ng ilaw sa likod ko, 2 traffic lights nalampasan namin bago nya ako nilubayan.... WEird! or Modus?

I flash my headlights when the car is slow moving and is on the passing lane,- meaning the car in front of him is already a significant number of meters ahead...

Also, when a car is hugging 2 lanes(passing lane and its adjacent lane), and appears to be real 'hesitant' what lane to take,- meaning he's staying there for more than a few seconds for comfort....

what to do? :drive1:

una, pasensya
pangalawa, konsensya
pangatlo, sintensya....

prenohan mo ng sagad. pero kung di ka maaargabyado at kargado ka rin ng pampatapang ... babain mo at upakan mo para tumino... just kidding

just keep your cool and let him pass, if that's what he really wants to do..

[swordsman]

pati yung kasalubong na liliko... pipitik ng ilaw... kakainis taxi driver style...

what did you do? sumalubong ka pa rin? hehe. that's called 'flash to pass', i think, para alam nung kasalubong mo na mauuna ka na lang lumiko - lalo na kung unsure sya if uuna sya o hindi.

+ 1 on this. lalo na yong mga ang bagal, yon pala nag-te-text pa.

Yes bro.,- most of the times,- either nagte-text or may kausap sa phone (hawak ang phone sa isang kamay)- gumamit naman kasi ng headset....

I remember,- I was riding a car on the German Autobahn some years ago, and we were doing something like a sustained 200KPH as I stole a glance on the speedometer. We were in the passing lane. I was kind of nervous because I was not used to that kind of speed. Then, suddenly, there's this car which came out from nowhere who's going even faster and was flashing his headlights on us... My driver-friend changed lane immediately to let the car pass....

Just imagine my worry, when after a few bottles of beer, my friend brought me back to my hotel on the same route...

It all boils down to interpretation. Depends how you interpret it.

If you're one of those who believes they are always right then you'll probably perceive the flashes as something negative.

If you're open-minded then it could be that someone is trying to tell you something for example, stay in lane, one of your rear lights is busted, driving to erratic or slow etc..

[robot.sonic]

May ginagawa akong mali sa tingin ng driver sa likod ko. Kaya ang gagawin ko ay isipin kung alin. At syempre, act accordingly.

hehehe! nice one panyero! prospective client pag nagkagulo. hehe!, just kidding din. kailangan talaga yang pampatapang na yan for our own protection. hehe!

the fact na binaba nya yong window nya and he stared to you (TS), eh may ibig sabihin yon. maybe looking for trouble or something.

I flash my headlights when..
- The car in front of me is slow.. Sa expressways, nasa innermost lane tapos 60 or 70 lang ang speed. Bwisit mga ganyan

- Kapag may sumasalubong sa dinadaanan ko. Mostly taxi at jeep na walang headlights.

- Kapag buladas mag-drive yung nasa harapan ko.

1. Haha. 60 ? Seriously ? Sa expressway ? Dun sila sa EDSA kamo ! :hysterical:

- Since I don't usually pass sa expressways, I just give them what they want. Pag may mabagal na nasa innermost lane, ako na magsshift sa outermost lane tapos uunahan ko nalang sila dun. Palaging ganun eh, meron pa nga Fortuner ... hello ?? Nasa NLEX ka kaya. Bakit 80kph lang takbo mo.

2. Ako if I want to turn to go to a certain road. Kasi baka magka-hiyaan pa kami magkabungguan pa. Hahahaha. Kaya I flash my headlights to say na " ako unang liliko, pagbigyan mo ko ... ", pero if the oncoming traffic flashes first then, iintayin ko sila dumaan.

3. Busina lang katapat niyan.

[galant E SS]

i flash my headlights:

1.) to greet my friends who are driving their cars pag nakakasalubong ko.

2.) sa intersections and gusto kong umunang lumiko and may kasalubong na parang nag-a-alanganin kung dideretso or wants to give way. of course, i'm using my signal lights din. kung minsan, sabay blow horn pa.

3.) but if there's a vehicle in front of me, and di mo alam kung didiretso ba o kakanan o kakaliwa and i'm in a hurry, i blow my horn talaga. this is common to tricy drivers that are looking for passengers or tumitingin-tingin sa mga tsiks or talking to their passenger/s. nakaka-bad trip.

[JJGF]

dati nung may gumawa sakin ng ganito.. naka motor, dalawa silang sakay, naka jacket ng military, naka shorts at tsinelas....

flash ng flash, busina ng busina... kami lang dalawa laman ng kalye * 1:00am

kayo na mag isip ng kasunod

kaya ngayon pag may ganyan humaharurot na ako

Minsan kapag hindi nadadaan sa flash, binababad ko ng busina. Kaya hindi pwede ang stebel nautilus sa akin kasi mapapaos lang

hehehe! nice one panyero! prospective client pag nagkagulo. hehe!, just kidding din. kailangan talaga yang pampatapang na yan for our own protection. hehe!

yes its true... its indispensable lalo na kung me mga nakalaban sa kaso na tigasin din, mahirap maunahan...

sa express, usually pag me nag flash sakin pinagbibigyan ko. pero pag repeated naman na parang kanya yung buong kalsada, lalo ko binabagalan sabay labas pampatapang then wait ko ya mag overtake sa right para mas madali ang target, just in case... saka mahirap din sa left side sayang yung windshield ko baka mag crack pag tinamaan ng basyo

the fact na binaba nya yong window nya and he stared to you (TS), eh may ibig sabihin yon. maybe looking for trouble or something.

baka naman type lang.... peace

sa need for speed kasi meaning ng ganyan eh naghahamon ng karera
