But honestly, I've never seen anyone flash their highs when passing me. Does anyone in the States do this or is it just a rest of the world thing?
More of a rest of the world thing. I like the idea personally. However, in the states it seems like flashing your high beams is considered more rude than running with them steady on during the day. I am quite sure I've had people NOT pull over into the slow lane on the freeway BECAUSE I flashed my brights on them. I know, it doesn't make sense. Unfortunately that seems to be the reality around here.
