In your area, what does flashing highbeams mean?
around my area (northern cali) flashing the brights means the standard things along with a few extras - if its an import the assumption is they wanna go. but in other countrys like jamaica as maximus pointed out brights and hazards play an adverse role. Hazards are used much more liberally in jamaica than here here if you give your hazards a little beep everyone trips out but there people use them to say whats up or if its raining really hard (which it often is) then everyone turns them on for safety reasons - you almost never see that here in cali.

"Get the hell out of the way?" For 2 retards in 16-sec econoboxes? Are you kidding? :rolleyes
Better idea - Get your POS on the shoulder.
Wonder if I'd get flashed like that driving my lifted Suburban? NOT! MWAHAHAHA :angryfire
p.s. right on, issanni.
Well after reading through all the crazy things yall highbeams stand for around your way. I'm from Northeast, Philly/NJ back and forth, and highbeams means alot of stuff depending of the situation
Day:cops hiding somewhere with a speed trap
telling you to hurry the fu ck up
telling you to get the fu ck out the left lane cuz your slow *** holdin up traffic
if it's dark enough and ur lights aren't on we we also use them.
but but also we use it to race like maximus says, I mean you have to be smart and pick a race wid the right car, if it's a old beat up car, then more than likely it doesn't want to race you, but if you look in the back and hear exhaust then you know he wants some sh it. Then we turn on our hazards for 3 blinks 3rd blinks it's whoevers faster. (that's how me and my bois pick a race, the ones that knows will actually wait for the 3rd blink, some just haul *** when we highbeam them, situation comes like that when you hear their downshift you better downshift too, then cut him up turn on the hazards again and then he has to wait for the 3rd blink because you will be in front of him and won't let him go until the 3rd blink, some people learn though.
Night:Same rules apply.
Night:same as above
