car flashing its headlights at me
#23430858 - 07/10/16 11:32 PM (7 years, 6 months ago) |

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.

Nah...a safer bet would be that the person forgot to change their high-beam fluid

In all my years of driving I've never had another motorist warn me of cops head. I think it's a lot more likely that OP accidentally put his high beams on and was blinding all passing drivers.

Yeah. On 138 especially I get flashed all the time. 90% of the time when I turn the corner there's a cop waiting. I flash people all the time to warn them of a trap. No one seems to be confused by it because they always get on their brakes right away. I always assume it's bc of a speed trap.
What kind of road were you on that the guy could have drove at you repeatedly?

I got flashed down several times a few weeks ago. People would accelerate in front of me and stick a flashlight on their rear view mirror and blind my ass.
