As said before, flashing your headlights means you are heading towards a speed trap or police road block


I've said before that you have to learn a new language when you come to Canada ........ and it is not only in the spoken language!
A Head light Flash here means I am coming thru get outa my way. That's why Brits get confused with it I exspect.
