Indicating on motorways advice needed

[Joe443]

I have a few queries regarding motorway driving,
When overtaking should you indicate to move back in to the left lane?
Is it ok to flash people to let them pull out and what about putting hazards on to say thank you if someone else lets you out?
Thanks

Its great that someone is asking questions but... I still don't understand how you can pass your full driving test having never driven on a UK motorway!!! so many idiots around these days, middle lane hoggers, brake testers.. the list goes on.
People need to remember there is one lane on the motorway (The inside), the other two are there for overtaking. (Excluding a fork in the road for junctions ect)

I always indicate and move to the left once I have finished overtaking. I also don't flash people or use hazards to say thanks. I was just wondering if this was a common thing to do.

Not an offence on a motorway or national speed limit dual carriageway, but should only be used to warn of an obstruction ahead.

OP, if you're new to motorway driving, or you're unsure about some aspects of driving on the motorway, there's some further reading in the following links:

Motorways part 1.

Motorways part 2.

Motorways part 3.

I'm not unsure on anything else but i'll have a read. thanks
