car flashing its headlights at me

Yesterday leaving the gas station a car drove by me and stuck his arm out the window. Then shortly after a truck repeatedly drove by with its headlights off and would flash then at me. He did this at least 3 times. I didnt flash back. May have just been paranoid, but i thought this mighta been one of those gang initation things. Time was like twilightish. What you guys think?

Maybe he was trying to tell you something, for example that you left the door to your gas tank open or your headlights were off.

What do you mean you don't have a gas cap, where did it go? Maybe someone thought your lack of gas cap, was reason to flash you.

Your headlights need to be adjusted downwards. Even with low beams it's still bright in people's eyes.
Well, that's my gues. If it keeps happening there's a good chance that's the case.

Flashing of lights generally mean lights are off. You say everything was 100 op so I dunno. Weird. I'd definitely felt a little weirded out myself.

Did your dash lights go out recently? If so you don't have any tail lights. Depending on type of vehicle. Or you were going down the wrong way. Double check and make sure you dont have one headlight out. Also if your turn signals do a quicker double flash kinda thing it means one of your bulbs is out.

People flash their lights or honk their horn. Whoever does it back first they have to kill them to be in the gang.

And the guy was probably warning you of police.
Im sure everyone does it but here in MA we flash our beams to other Drivers to let them know a cop car is near
