    Saw this on FB. It's one of those little gestures we can adopt locally.

    Blink twice to say "Thank You". Not sure how quickly everyone could pick up on the idea. But there's no harm in doing it I suppose.

    I always use a simple nod and smile to say TY for courteous motorists and pedestrians.

    I think it depends on the driver you flash. Among some street racers in japan, if you flash your lights twice that's a sign to them that the race is on.

    It's sad and ironic though that the hazard lights blinking here in the Philippines is a sign of the opposite as it's usually associated with "force field mode" for drivers (counterflow, convoy, illegal parking, etc.).

    It's really nice and relaxing to drive in an environment where drivers respect each other.
