Alternative to Headlamp flash
Discussion
I have always thought asking somebody to move over from the right hand lane to let me past by me flashing my headlamps tends to be seen as aggressive, even when doing the flash from a long way back.
Lately I have been trying a different method which seems to be working with no aggressive reactions from the other driver (so far).
If I think the car in front is not aware that I want to pass I put my right indicator on and move slightly right to ensure they can see the indicator in their door mirror.
Having said that if they dont see the signal or me; I LIGHT EM UP!!!!! which usually gets the desired result along with the finger or two.
I picked this up from driving through France in 2015 where there is practically no headlamp flashing and witnessed it again this month whilst on another driving holiday there
