Reply to comment by degggendorf in Are we still flashing the brights? by SqueakieDeekie

That's fake news. Why on earth would anyone choose to blind someone else? It's always been "if high beams get flashed at you, or eventually left on, it's because your high beams are on and creating a Hazzard as opposing traffic has lost a clear line of sight ahead.

Low beam double flash, speed trap ahead.

And lights off when should be on, an extended lights off from the notifier. I've helped many drivers this way.

I am not sure I follow what you're saying...two flashes is a nice polite reminder, but two more flashes and the other driver goes blind?

All high beams blind the other drivers. Even when there's a jersey barrier dividing the high way.
High beams in your/my face, means "hey man. You're blinding me...I can't see...oh jebus I hope I don't crash. I immediately check/turn off my beams. 'Cause I don't wanna blind anyone driving. Not from behind either. Just makes sense.
