I'd rather a driver flash the lights on and off.. I don't like having the high beams flashed at me. Just my personal preference.

Thanks Lady18.
Don't worry, I don't stay on the side long enough to be in a blind spot. I want by you guys as fast as possible. Ever think of painting on the underside(frame) of the trailer, "as long as you're in my blind spot,.... want to tell me how things look under there"!!! LOL

I don't feel too bad. I developed the flashing when you are clear habit ages ago in college and driving alot at night. I prefer a momentary flash simply because it is often hard to find the switch, compared to the light stalk in what I'm used to driving.
Now, when riding a motorcycle, I have a bit different approach, as I tend to wait until I have a complete clear shot past the truck and then get and go...but I hate getting trapped by a car and am stuck beside a truck in the wind and everything else. But....that's a whole different ball game.

285_Heat................AMEN to the Motorcycles. It's all about open her up wide and pray ..........."pipes don't fail me now"!!!
I've started waving at the driver in the mirror. Hubby says "whatever it takes to let them know we are there"!! It usually works. Besides, I like to make people smile!!!!!!

Whatever! Just don't use your high beam, and be specific, if you on CB! "You've got it, big truck", didn't cut it! There may be 20-30 "big trucks", within your range! :lol: Also, i strongly sujest, that regardless, of that inventation, you gotto make sure, "you've got it" 8)
